how truly sad...I do not know who is worse, the daughter for living in it , or the mother...the mom is clearly sick...she is sad, lonely depressed, and a hoarder extraordinaire! I would love the have the money she has obviously blown on ebay...but she needs help...real counseling help to get rid of this...and it needs to start with some one taking control of her finances and declaring her mentally unfit.
Poor thing..but working with the estate people I have seen a lot of it...rooms full of QVC and ebay boxes never opened...one lady had an entire bedroom full of those jewelry armoires, all full of jewelry from QVC..not the cheapest stuff either...her kids had no idea...another room was full of Fenton glass..she was a qvc junky and run up $180K in credit card debt! Nice legacy to leave your family!
Fear of having a stash is NOTHING like this...a stash is for a working purpose...even a large stash..this lady has collected a landfill full of garbage....

Scary but there are so many in that same situation - we were till I got busy and cleaned out a lot of useless stuff - the garbage men were overwhelmed and asked me if I had finished after 3 weeks of heavy pickups. I say Yes and we were both relieved !! :lol:

She is complaining now, and her mom does need to stop, but when she goes thru and sees the hundreds of dollars of collection things, she will be glad her mom had it all. The house seems nice but the dust isn't. Bless her heart. But I believe in live and let live, she is not hurting anyone and hoading in illness of a sort.
