Like its literally worse than the TV show because they have many storage units also rented out in addition to the house which is worth like half a million. Even my girlfriends room. But shes clean over at our place because Im super clean.

I despise every member of her family.

Hoarding items to the extent that youre describing usually boils down to a metal disorder. Instead of insulting and hating them, maybe try and see if theyll see or talk to someone who might be able to help them.

It is definitely a mental disorder accompanying others. Everyone there has mental disorders, know it, and wont get help. Its sad but at some point you just have to cut ties with people who are holding your life back and think of your own future.

My girlfriend has issues too and has gone to therapy for a decade and has brought her family each to 1-2 sessions. They all know they need help, but are too embarsssed to give up heir public everything is perfect facade. If you wont take a basic step to helping yourself, eventually its on you. All your can do is give a person opportunity and resources and support, and eventually that has to end.

No wonder shes always over there cleaning for them. Even with her dedicating three days a week to cleaning their place it will never get better.

Yeah, it's been on my mind. It's caused so many issues in her life. Tonight I'm going to have the talk with her and tell her that I'm going in leave her if she's not on track to getting her life in order a bit before my residency ends. As far as I know I've given her all the support I can, and the rest in on her.

She just needs to cut back family visits to maybe seeing them for dinner once a week or phone call. I wouldn't say the cards she got dealt were as bad as if their parent was an alcoholic or drug addict or violent, but they're not great.

My dad is a hoarder and my room is the only "normal" room in the house. That's the way it'll stay too because I pay towards the rent so it's like I'm renting out the room. Still I've known a lot worse living conditions.

My mums place was a tip site. I recall picking my younger sister up from hers a few times and the house was literally covered in shit, nappies, empty food packets and worse. My dad told me she used to leave us sleeping in beds of piss and basically wasn't fit to have children. He was right but I question why he would have kids with someone like that in the first place as she was the same with my older sister(me and her had quite a age gap between us, I'm the second oldest). My mum certainly has mental disorders. I'm not sure what they are though and probably never will know as I've had no contact with her since I was about 6.

I don't know why you'd just toss that in. It's not even a particularly meaningful piece of information given that home values vary wildly between areas.

Hmmm, I think I made a post on Valentines day about how sweet the gift she got me was. She's super sweet and nice to me and is down to go do pretty much anything. Which is awesome we've been going to a ton of escape rooms and building disney posters. And she's super pretty and trustworthy. Just has boundary issues.

For size. Oklahoma, so cheap housing. Half a million is nice anywhere, but does wildly vary in size.

Looking online it's crazy the percentage of people with the hoarding disorder.

It's almost like generations of focusing on accumulation of wealth has created negative psychological traits.

So about 7 months since you made a nice post about your girlfriend out of all these bitching ones. Sad.

Hey, that one guy who got rich from perfecting exploitation of resources, labor and consumerism then gave half his fortune away in a grand gesture of giving back didn't became a hoarder, therefore, only seeking the accumulation of wealth is a good thing.

... or those who are not wealthy finding more value in things that others would not thus they don't want to let things go as they find that to be a waste.

The problem with this though or at least in my dads case is the ideas he has to use these things he hordes never seem to leave his head thus things just sit there for years, even decades not being used and making the house look a mess. I'm not exaggerating on how bad the situation actually is. Still I've gave up telling him to use the things or get rid of them because he's already aware of what needs to be done and rightfully I should have moved out by now anyway so eh. I just focus on my own shit.

Growing up poor, I agree with this. Minimalism is for the rich.

Why are you trying to limit the visits and communication between your girlfriend and her family?
You don't have to go with her or talk to her family.

I never said I was trying to. Just that it's what she needs to do. That's typical adult communication anyhow.

But to answer your question, she needs to limit it for mental health reasons.
