The twins live near me. They lived up the street from my grandma. They didn't keep their new house clean. It's a hoarder house again. They walk up to the shops every day, and get more things. It's sad. They feel like everyone is against them, when we just want to help.
Having two family members that didn't like to get rid of things made me into a person that never lets anything pile up. I regularly get rid of things I know I'll never use or really want to keep. I'm 61, and don't want my son to have to clear out a home full of junk when his dad and I are gone.
My mother was a hoarder. She bought shoes and clothes but just threw them aside. Then she got ill, I took over her life. Cleaned her room and threw out all the junk. Years now, she can see her bedroom floor.
My very first house used to belong to a hoarder. The previous owner died and the kids were selling her house. According to neighbors they saw 6 flatbed trucks full of trash before the house was put up for sale. I joked the 1 acre backyard was a picture from an I Spy book. I spy a bowling ball. I spy a skate. Etc. Found some decent stuff in the house. Sold a nice chunk of that a garage sale.
I was a bit of a hoarder as a little kid. I had shoe boxes piled up with all sorts of things I collected, from bird feathers to rocks to pretty paper and wrappers and crayon colors I liked. I just obsessively kept them all in these boxes that piled up high. I think it was just a weird reaction to my unstable home life, with my awful father. Thankfully as I grew up and was able to get away from him more I stopped keeping all of that stuff.
That 4 year old girl became a hoarder, NOT because of her brother's death; But, because her Parent/s forgot about her after his death. No 4 year old would hold on to such turmoil, if the Parent/s had acted appropriately.
I hate when they say that their stuff means so much to them. Then why don't you take better care of it? My ex boyfriend and his parents were holders. They had cat and dog poop all over the floor. Stuff everywhere and a room full of VHS tapes. I'm talking thousands and thousands of tapes. They never cleaned anything or took care of anything and they ended up having a fire. Then they lost everything.
Because it’s a mental illness. Many of them don’t even seem to realize things are in bad condition. When it progresses to animal waste everywhere, and people not even being able to throw out literal garbage, you know it’s far beyond someone just not taking care of their stuff. These people desperately need therapy.
My cousin is a hoarder, he blamed everyone else. His ex divorced him, our grandparents died. I understand that there’s usually a trigger-but and however he blames his ex leaving him as to why the house got so gross. She was cleaning up after him is what I heard, his current partner isn’t any better. Parents said they went to his house (our grandparents old house one of the places I grew up in) for a birthday party and it was disgusting. All they did was pick stuff up and move it around. Smelled like cat piss and moldy food, stuff all over the floors and carpets, the hard floors were sticky. He had to have his leg amputated due to untreated diabetes that he thought was COVID-19. Family did a huge fundraiser for him so he could recover and not worry about work. He bought a bunch of stuff he didn’t need with the money that was raised for him to pay his bills, a meat smoker, mini fridges for EACH ROOM in the house, 2 rumbas because he lost the first one somehow, 3 air fryers, and a dog that he hasn’t trained, and he won’t walk her so she is a terror. He lets her run loose in their yard and the neighbors end up bringing her back because they don’t have a fence. When I found out he was spending that money on junk from Amazon I was livid and so were a bunch of his friends who donated a lot of that money.
As an addict, I don't feel bad at all. I don't agree with "the addiction controls you" thing. I mean, it does at some point, but there's a point where you HAVE to admit that there's something wrong with you and you need to seek for help.
of these I am not sure. Of all the hoarder houses I have seen, my grandma's. (she was never on this show, but she was a hoarder). While she lived to be in her 70's or 80's (I don't remember). Her health was severely compromised by the the hoard and the family all believe it is what contributed to her early passing. Without it, she would have had a better chance of living longer.
I don't think it was on Horders but maybe Billy the exterminator. The family was horders though and they had a roach problem so bad that the roaches would sometimes chew on the people when they slept.
My grandma used to go to every dollar store claiming they have different stuff in them. As a result my mom has grown to be a true minimalist. I’ve become a middle of the road person where I like to get new things but I also like to go through my stuff and spring clean often.
I've never seen this show but what is the purpose behind it? Are these people put into therapy? Or do their houses just get cleaned? Because that's not solving the problem unless they have someone in to clean every week. The hoarding is a biproduct of the underlying mental health issue. If you don't address their mental health, nothing will change.
Of course not this is reality television. So some human tragedy and misery is pried apart for us all to take take a good look at for our amusement, then an hour later we all move on to the next thing.
These shows actually bring in a therapist to help the hoarders work through the trauma that triggered the hoarding in the first place. They also have professional organizers on hand to help the hoarders make healthy decisions about their hoard. So no, they don't just come in and dump everything. The therapists themselves have said that this only traumatizes the patient further and makes the hoarding worse. Yes, the show exaggerates some scenes, as any reality show does. But the point of the show is to help people with their hoarding disorder via the professional help I detailed above. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, as hoarding tends to be a chronic problem.
@amandabeaty1492 I know, but that wasn't my point. A few people suggested that the show was essentially a pointless, exploitative sham, and I was refuting that. The show is far from perfect. But its not a sham. And unless I'm mistaken, the show does offer follow-up services in the form of continued therapy and other help, but the hoarders don't always accept it.
I can’t handle the episodes with dead animals, it is just so disturbing. These people desperately need therapy, I hope TLC helps them get that too and not *just* one clean
The episode of Hoarders where a teenager calls Child Protective Services on their mother is season 3, episode 12, titled "Mary Lynn/Ingrid". In this episode, Mary Lynn's 14-year-old son Jacob lies about his mother to get Child Protective Services to clean up their home. Jacob would rather be in foster care than live with his mother in her hoarded house. This one is the saddest one because the boy call cps on his mom saying she was abused she wasn't but was atvthe same time

That's a shame
Hoarding can't be cured with one big clean. They need therapy
I’m so sorry for your grandma and all the neighbors surrounding…. It’s such a shame….
Wow sad story 😢
Yeah I’d assume most of the houses go back to how they were eventually, unfortunately
Having two family members that didn't like to get rid of things made me into a person that never lets anything pile up. I regularly get rid of things I know I'll never use or really want to keep. I'm 61, and don't want my son to have to clear out a home full of junk when his dad and I are gone.
My heart breaks for these people. I hope they can get the help they desperately need.
They need serious mental help so sad :(.
“Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.” Aristotle
They need to do an episode where they go back after a year to some of these houses to see how they are holding up. Did they keep clean or go back?
They've done that episode. Mixed results.
@@ghillies4life Oh :(.
The worst are the dead animals, rodents & when they use the backyard as a dumping ground when the toilet doesn’t work.
My mother was a hoarder. She bought shoes and clothes but just threw them aside. Then she got ill, I took over her life. Cleaned her room and threw out all the junk. Years now, she can see her bedroom floor.
And theres the inspiration I needed to start my spring cleaning early...
This video gave an anxiety attack.
Interesting! It makes me feel better about my home.
Who would've guessed that Ron Jeremy would be the grossest thing in that house.
He and she were PORN stars!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nobody deserves to live like that
My grandma God Rest her soul❤❤❤. She was a hoarders but not this bad. However when she got sick she started letting us clean her house out.
The show that makes you feel better about those two dirty dishes that you forgot to put in the dishwasher

No 4 year old would hold on to such turmoil, if the Parent/s had acted appropriately.

the dead cat broke my heart ... how could they let that happen to their pet 😢

Hearing the debts... ooof... my only debt is my car payment but I've made those every month... no debt otherwise
As an addict, I don't feel bad at all. I don't agree with "the addiction controls you" thing. I mean, it does at some point, but there's a point where you HAVE to admit that there's something wrong with you and you need to seek for help.
That's the cool thing about mental health.
I watched with my jaw dropped open. A childhood trauma? The Asian lady and her quiche pan….how can she not see her kitchen?
The very worst is when these people have children who are held captive in these environments
This is so sad. It is such an easy addiction to slip into, and it’s still stigmatized
Collecting "stuff" is somewhat understandable, but collecting GARBAGE is beyond comprehension.
Happy wednesday afternoon, Kirsten, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well
of these I am not sure. Of all the hoarder houses I have seen, my grandma's. (she was never on this show, but she was a hoarder). While she lived to be in her 70's or 80's (I don't remember).

I didn’t watch this show but did watch Hoarders on A&E.
A hoarder with a porn actor friend. I’ve heard it all.
I don't think it was on Horders but maybe Billy the exterminator. The family was horders though and they had a roach problem so bad that the roaches would sometimes chew on the people when they slept.
These definitely were not the most craziest moments. Didn’t even mention the lady with the cats in her freezer
My grandma used to go to every dollar store claiming they have different stuff in them. As a result my mom has grown to be a true minimalist. I’ve become a middle of the road person where I like to get new things but I also like to go through my stuff and spring clean often.
There is no way Chip has a wife called Dale.
This is so sad...
14:56 fun fact this is bs 😂 parents have three years to regain custody of their kids in the USA
Grossest thing I saw from this show was someone sticking a butter knife into a can filled with roaches all tightly packed inside like sardines. 🤢🤢🤮
Well time to clean my house
Ewwww, made me want to shower with a scrub brush!
Hope for another episode like this one eventually please 🤞?

@polarboy5862 That's what I thought. People are horrible.

@DeannaBrownlee So these therapists work with these people for years? Because that's how long it takes to work through trauma.
@amandabeaty1492 I know, but that wasn't my point. A few people suggested that the show was essentially a pointless, exploitative sham, and I was refuting that. The show is far from perfect.

You missed the poop lady
That’s from A&E hoarders
That is forever burned into my mind
🤢 Don't remind me.
I don't like to play stereotypes, but I happened to notice most of these tended to be old, white women 🤣
🤮
I can’t handle the episodes with dead animals, it is just so disturbing. These people desperately need therapy, I hope TLC helps them get that too and not *just* one clean
But, you can handle a 4 year old hoarder?!
I'm sorry but this is just pathetic and disturbing
Every time I look at this though, remind myself, to clean 🧼
