- Richard says his six-year marriage to Kelli ended mainly due to Kelli’s obsession with keeping “stuff”! The couple has been divorced for 12 years and is considering getting re-married, but only if Kelli can stop hoarding once and for all. Then, four siblings say their mother's hoarding is so out of control that nearly every inch of her 9,000-square-foot home is filled with junk, and their father says he moved out of the house two years ago because of the mess. Finally, soap-opera actress Tracy seeks Dr. Phil's help for her hoarding 71-year-old-mother, who could be evicted from her home at any minute, and tells him what it is like growing up in a home full of filth, chaos and animals.

They're laughing about this, but there is nothing funny about hoarding, it destroys families and homes.
Not everyone has the same response to stress as you. Their laughing and hoarding are signs of stress whereas you come here to pass judgment, I wonder who is worse 🤔
@@jonathandevereaux298I hate to tell you this, but Dr. Phil's show is designed to pass judgment onto unfortunate people
@@slitherysnakewonders5744 He must be a terrible person. Why do you watch? Do you enjoy his sadistic displays?
@@williamhensley8698 Nah I just got recommended this, I dont watch him often, used to but when I clicked on the episode I just remembered how bad of a person he is
I'm usually a fan, but this interaction dissapointed me.
Hoarding is a mental health issue under the umbrella of OCD
It is indeed. I'm the opposite (not to the point of OCD though), I'm not a minimalist but I know everything I own and where it is. I get anxiety watching hoarders, I can't have stuff all over the place, messy places with lots of nick knack's really make me uncomfortable.
Hoarders are torturing their family members, forcing them to live in mess 😢
And it's a mental health issue for the hoarders as well. They aren't hoarding to hurt the ones they love
@@perfectlyimperfect9129 But they don't care that it hurts the ones they love enough to get well. Alcoholics are very selfish people too but an alcoholic has a higher likelihood of recovery than a hoarder. My brother is a recovering addict and got into treatment before he met his wife who turned out to be a hoarder. He left her (and the hoarder house they own together) and got a new place and she followed him to the new place. Wo they pay over 2k a month for a house that is being used a storage facility. She is starting to hoard the new place. I guess they will abandon it and move to a third place.
My heart goes out to these people and their families. Hoarding is a trauma response, I hope they get the help they need and freedom from this mess. 😢
Wrong.....millions suffer from trauma and don't clutter up their space and everyone else's space with rubbish.
@@mariapyrc6862 Do you honestly believe everyone responds to trauma the same way? No, she is not wrong. Every single time someone does this, EVERY time, there is severe trauma in their background. Just because many other people suffer trauma without this exact response, absolutely does not mean this isn't trauma related.
@@gentlegiants04 and you have assumed that all these hoarders have suffered trauma. Mental issues play a big role for some.
@@gentlegiants04I realise everyone is different but so many excuses are made for selfish people with victim mentality that they become enabled. I have a next door neighbour like this and she has caused me e financial hardship by rats from her property entering mine and having to get pest control, to the tune of £800 to date. It has caused me health issues from anxiety hearing rats running above me in the attic when I'm in bed, sleepless nights then disgusting flies from the dead rats in my loft because she has put down poison. She is selfish and in complete denial and is so abusive that I've had to involve the police. A real nightmare neighbour. I have no sympathy
@@gentlegiants04That is actually not true. Hoarding has several root causes, not always trauma.
This is a constant battle. Its connected to mental health issues. I was able to accept help and its saved me. Its not easy. I have to give myself a firm talking to all the time. But it can be done.
That’s great! I’m so glad you accepted the help and were successful! That’s an inspiration to others. 😊
Well done Sandra. Keep going.
Beloved, It is a spiritual problem that is. Most all mental issues start in our soul. I hope that you didnt allow docs to push pills that you dont need down your throat. Drugs cause even more problems in most instances. I know from yrs of experience. I know.
You need Christ and His word daily. Trust in Christ . Repent of sinning against God. We have all fallen short of the glory of God. God created you. He knows you best. God gave you His word to heal your heart and sanctify you. Trust in Christ who died on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead the 3rd day and ascended into heaven where he now sits at the right hand of the Father to mediate for our sins.
2Timothy 1:7For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
Proverbs 2:7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
John 14:6 Jesus said "I am the way the truth and the life. Noone can come to the Father but through me.
Romans 10:The Word Brings Salvation
…8But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.…
It probably takes a lot of dedication, if I'm right about that. 😊
@@sarahlund-nt3kwI’ve just started to accept it. I’d lost sight of who I am and what I’m capable of doing. Just in the middle of selling my house and moving in to a van. You’re stronger than you realise. ❤
I believe in many cases hoarding isn't fixable. You can clean a hoarders house and as soon as you turn your back they will fill it back up again. Their junk means more to them than any human relationships. Unless they are willing to go on medication and have frequent therapy and work with a professional organizer continuously- they will not recover.
There’s no way to really clean a hoarders house because if you make a spot, they will absolutely fill it again and make it worse than before so it’s a sickness and you have to take away the credit card and take away their ability to hoard
Well, you are the problem you need some mental help. You need some happy pills but this hoarding is also laziness leaving things laying around being dirty. I’m gonna say 75% of the population has this problem?
Audience and family members should not be laughing. Living in these conditions for the hoarders' families is a nightmare, unhealthy, and dangerous.
I used to be a collector. My house was tidy, just had so much stuff! I downsized my living space and had to get rid of a lot of things. It was so difficult at the time but I am so much happier with less stuff! Feels great to have more space. Simplicity is a good thing. 💯👍🙂
They were laughing, I was crying. It hit hard. Lost my mother and consequently the family to hoarding. She fought us 'till the bitter end and refused any kind of help😢
Love or no love I would be out of those houses ASAP. It's like living in a house with a loudspeaker blasting away 24/7. It's visual noise and it is as disturbing as sound noise.
You're right! I don't collect things. But I do have a shopping addiction. My 3 bedroom house if FILLED with NEW clothes. Not cheap clothes. I haven't watched my tv in about 3 yrs because of all the clothes. They're in every room in my house except for the bathroom & kitchen. Not thrown down in the floor. Hanging on clothes racks. On the backs of chairs. On the bed in one of my bedrooms. My other bedroom doesn't have a bed or any furniture in it because there isn't room. I have plastic crates stacked up to the ceiling in 2 bedrooms. I've spent too much money to just donate them. They still have tags on them. I am 68 yrs old & if I wore a different blouse/sweater every day for the rest of my life I wouldn't wear the same one twice. I WANT at least 3/4 of this STUFF out of my house! I want a normal, organized home again. I've ALWAYS hated clutter! But I am so OVERWHELMED til I can't do anything with it because there is literally nowhere to put it. Every space is taken up. I have damn good intentions to have yard sales & take pictures to sell online but I just can't get started!!! I NEED someone to come in & help me but I can't afford to pay anyone. I am about to lose my mind
@@user-np9mq3oz3i Could you not just do one bag a day? Even if you have to throw them away that is better than drowning in so many things.
@@user-np9mq3oz3i
If l lived near you, l would help you.. but as the other post says, start with ONE bag a day.. one step at a time, tell yourself that you need to do this for YOU and do it!
@@user-np9mq3oz3iif you were our neighbor my husband and I would help you prepare a plan to clean and unload. There are other people out there that are in your area that would help you out. Sometimes you just have to let your guard down and open up some if your vulnerability and allow people that care to step in. Usually houses like yours require small highly dedicated teams. But it can always be broken up from room to room, or simply one corner, to the next corner. Realistically speaking, you have too much to resell on your own. Find someone in your area that is a trustworthy reseller of items and clothing, invite them to come into your home with the intent that they will buy a large bulk of items. The thing is, when selling your things to a reseller the prices go pretty low, but your gained sense if order and peace will be priceless. There is a massive sense of freedom once you can shed the loads of things that are smothering you and your home. Just done ideas from working in a few hoarder houses. I get totally overwhelmed in these houses, but with a ton of perseverance and hope somehow it always does turn out good. You must write the goals on a calendar that you look at daily. Make a plan and pick a day to start implementing new habits to unclutter. If you don't voice the plan out loud and initiate a step forward, you will continually, for months and years put the task off, put it off. Stop losing all these years and peace you can and will have. Once the ball gets rolling, it will keep rolling. Step out in faith and ask others for help, and pay others for help. You could even pay people with barter system. They work for items/clothes in your home. Just throwing some ideas out there that I've personally dealt with. Hope at least one thing I mentioned plants a seed.
Blessing to you.

Visible noise... absolutely 💯 best description ever!!
What?!?! I cannot imagine going to someone's messy house to have my teeth cleaned!
Second lady was so offended about being judged but at the same time was able to laugh so sincerely about herself with the tissue joke, I believe that's a very good sign.
I had the same thought!
Yes, that sounded a lovely and well educated bright family and yet still blighted by her hoarding of course.
I've sent you texts because I'm a hoarder and the house is a wreck. I'm 71 and been not living a life because of it. I've been alone for 16 yrs and loved entertaining before this, it really started when my parents died about 11 yrs ago . I've fallen several times . I don't let anyone come in because it's embarrassing ! I use to have Bible study here weekly , baby showers , super bowl parties . I feel like im buried under all of this . I have a lot of health issues , fibromyalgia , arthritis , depression , anxiety , chronic bronchitis. Please help me Dr Phil .
Oh Patricia, I am so sorry that you are grieving
I am hugging you from afar.
I hope their team looks into you
Dr Phil no longer does this.
Hugs from Texas 💝
Patricia, owning it is half the battle. Being embarrassed, knowing it's not right, they're all good signs.
You have plenty of reasons why your place is in the state it's in, but you now need ru look forward, and stop beating yourself up on getting here.
You will need help, there are professional cleaners on tik tok that will empty and clean hoarders houses for free, without the occupant being shown, and they love this stuff, they do it without judgement.
If you can be part of the tidying process, that often works to not allowing this to happen again, because you know what its like to do that break back cleaning. But if you can't, that's OK too. You might not be physically able to, but bigger than that, you might try to stop them throwing rubbish out.
Let it all go. I promise the feeling afterwards you'll have, and the life you'll get to live again will be more rewarding than that stuff.
You can do this ❤
From what I've seen on the hoarding shows, people who hoard have had a significant loss in their lives. I think all of these in this video are trying to fill a hole that loss has left. My heart goes out to them and hope they all got some help.
I'm 68 yrs old. I have 1 son. He moved out 4 & half yrs ago. My parents, aunts, uncles, 2 brothers, grandparents, best friends are all dead. It's just me & my dog. I've been married & divorced 5 times. Hey! I ain't no quitter! If at first you don't succeed try, try again? I left my 5th husband 7 yrs ago. I don't want a boyfriend/husband. I just want this clutter gone out of my house so my mind can be at peace. I have a shopping addiction. I discovered online shopping boutiques 7 yrs ago. I buy clothes, jewelry, shoes, makeup, & house decor. My hoard has never been used. I have concluded that I buy things for the temporary "joy" I get when I get new stuff. If not for that joy, there would be no joy in my life. . I have a sister that I have to walk on eggshells when communicating with her. I have no friends. No extracurricular activities, NOTHING but buying new things. I can't afford to pay someone to come help me sell the new stuff & donate the used. I'm completely overwhelmed. I don't know what to do.
Very compassionate of you, and yes, grief is under all of that mess. 🙏🕊️
They need true mental health help.
I’ve been caregiver in places like this,,, and it was difficult to do the things the patient needs/ bathing/ toileting/ change clothes. But,,,, it is a mental thing. Cant say anything. 😢
Same. 💔
I’m the opposite I love to throw things out, I hate clutter.
Me too.
same
My former husband was a hoarder & my current husband has begun this
too. I can't go thru it again , but I have nowhere to go.
Leave!!!!!
I feel you. I’m in much the same situation with my husband of 32 years. His absolute refusal to acknowledge or deal with the problem has destroyed our marriage, but I can’t stand the thought of leaving him to rot in his own filth. It’s truly heartbreaking. I wish you all the strength and support to deal with this. You are not alone.
Obviously many of these people watching this show have no idea what hoarders put their families through; they are frustrating, exhausting, pigheaded and a nightmare to live with.
Agree! Sorry but I couldn't cope. Nor would I want to, if the house were as filthy as Woman 3. I'd walk away, and keep right on walking. Just being honest!
They're lazy
Almost like they are obsessed huh?
@@joycerodriguez4505no, they’re sick
She keeps on laughing...but not one bit of hoarding and the threat of another divorce is funny.
Laughing can be a reaction to a distressful situation.
Doing this to CHILDREN is abuse. You wanna do it to yourself? Fine. You DO NOT have that option if you have children involved.
That severely damages a kid 🤬
That first kid sleeps on a couch, with ZERO space of his own! Wtf!?
You obviously don't know child abuse
It's not a choice, it's a mental disorder. You wouldn't tell someone to stop being schizophrenic because it's affecting their children. Jeesh.
Children or pets. They deserve better.
It's also a fire hazard
@@dastreet615 That sounds like something a hoarder would say. Failing to meet a child's basic needs is child abuse. By definition a parent who is a level 4 Severe, or level 5 Extreme hoarder is guilty of child abuse. Hoarders almost always underestimate the severity of their problem and the suffering of their children. They also lie to themselves about the conditions of their house and the condition of their children. Don't kid yourself dastreet615 you can be deemed an unfit parent and your children can be removed from your home.
I have an addiction to thrift store shopping. I didn’t go today and I normally would have. The struggle is real. My living room has turned into my craft room/selling area. It’s an organized disaster. One thing, I think the second lady is just like me. She has too many ideas.
You only have the addiction because you get little hits of dopamine when you shop. Change the addiction to something less harmful. Go and give your time to someone else.
What other hobby could you do? Maybe volunteer at the soup kitchen
@@georgewagner7787 That’s a good idea. I’ll find something that doesn’t involve the accumulation of things. Thanks, I’m going to do that.
@@georgewagner7787 I’m gonna take harp lessons!
@@truegemrn great idea! put your focus into areas that you enjoy but don't accumulate things, happy playing!
Dentistry? Dear God! Someone take her license away please!
She is very clean actually - just very messy in the rest of the house.
@@janesmith9024How can she be very clean, she lives in the rest of the house which is ‘very messy’ ?
Unless she has her dental practice outside her home, it would be impossible to maintain the necessary level of hygiene for dentistry in that house - it’s madness. Surely there must be some regulatory body in America that
oversees professional standards in Dental Surgeries. ? Did you happen to notice the dirty, stained disposable mask she pulled up to cover her face ?
My first wife had an uncle who was a hoarder. Mostly trash, newspapers, and magazines. I went one time in the house, couldn't even walk. I had to go outside. When she would visit, I would stay outside. It's such a frustrating situation to be in such a mess.
My ex mother in law was the same. Even had dried dog and cat poop smashed into the rug everywhere. One time we decided to clean the living room for her because it was literally just trash and old newspapers stacked taller than the dining room table. Afterwards she got angry saying we threw out her newspapers from the 80’s. I explained they were soaked in cat pee but she didn’t care. After that I considered her a lost cause and never returned. Over 20 years later my ex husband told me nothing’s changed.
Laughing aside, this is such a terrible and sad behavior.
Exactly 💯 true
I can see why he loves kelli. She's got a great personality.
And he is a sweet, nice looking man. Plenty of out here keep a neat home and cook well, wouldn't keep him in a pig pen. She better wise up.
Either you are a hoarder or you've never lived with one. They only care about their junk ! They are selfish, self-centered and despicable ..
@@user-cz5bx5pq5v Point taken. I left the o.p. with a thought about how sweet and cute the crazy broad's husband is. There are LOTS of lonely women out there who would cherish him and not make him him live in an old hog pen. Food for thought, right?
@@user-cz5bx5pq5v you're right, my father in law has been a hoarder since he first lived on his own in his 20's. He's now 70. To the point that his home is totally packed from floor to ceiling with junk he buys every weekend, then mold, mice, etc. He is also the biggest egotistical, greedy, entitled, selfish scrooge person I've ever known.
Inherit my shoes - your name says it all .
i plan to, I want to, I'm going to, I thought I'd - for how many years and it still wasn't done.
For me it was 40 years. But I have finally gotten it done and been healed of the compulsion to hoard
I have 30 things I am going to do. I get to the 3/4 place then jump to a different project.
My mom was like this and one of my daughters' also has this tendency.
@@moniqueengleman873 Is that ADHD? I'm not up on these newly named things but would that be considered 'attention deficit'? Isn't there a pill for that - my chum was up on new meds for mild problems and talked about what she took?
@@richardw3470 It sure feels like something. I am always trying to figure out how to be better.
It’s a condition that may need a good therapist to help ,it’s not an easy thing to do once your entrenched for years in this 😊behaviour
My ex husband is a hoarder, so was my late MIL. It was a miserable situation. He would not go for help. He thought nothing was wrong.
Give CLEAN, SMALL stuffed animal to Rescue Squads, Fire Departments, and Police Departments. They can use them to comfort a small child they come upon on calls.
Omg it's like im watching my mom. Crying, blaming her kids for what they did to her, going through trash so you have to throw it away outside your property, defensiveness when confronted with the truth...... Its my mom 😮
I wish I could connect with these people and help them. 💛 I was a hoarder and I’ve been a Professional Organizer for the last 13 years. My heart goes out to them. One thing is that you continue to have those tendencies but you learn to recognize your triggers and to not let things build again. You stop being “clutter blind”. Hoarding really does stem from a place of love. They always want to have something to offer because they feel inadequate. Hearing the crowd laugh was really heartbreaking. She needs real guidance and a friendly push.
I fully agree 💯. My mother passed suddenly , as in she was fine and 10 minutes later she was gone. I spent the next 3 years going to work Mon-Fri. I function fine at work but it has taken me 4 years to be able to get back in the routine of deep cleaning my house. It wasn't hoarded it was pretty cluttered. I just couldn't get up and get started. Thank God watching some motivational cleaning channels on RUclips tube has helped me a great deal. I don't go to bed until my dishes are clean and put away. I don't leave my house on the weekends until my floors and bathrooms are cleaned. I am now helping one of my Aunts deep clean her house. She has also lost her husband, she's having health issues and I want to help pull her out of that dark hole I was in for 4 years.
Trauma/stress response is correct
I went to university one day and saw my friend had the whole room upside down, she had everything scattered all her materials and projects
Bcuz she was stressed tf out in having to complete her display and report as well
She was just moving around like crazyy
That's a very small example
So yes stress or trauma can trigger hoarding
A short excerpt isn't enough - we need a conclusion.
EXACTLY! How frustrating not knowing the outcome!!
Very disappointing. Not even enough time to discuss more, about the reasons for these women hoarding. No conclusions. Wish I'd never watched this now. Yet, less interesting subjects , on Dr Phil, are 20 minutes longer
My heart goes out to the kid, why no one called CPS, the kid deserves better
CPS is worst than hoarding!!!!
I have a neighbor who has an overwhelming problem with hoarding. Every square inch of the house, back porch, and garage is full of junk and garbage. Her husband left her recently.
That’s probably a good thing. Perhaps now she will have the opportunity to heal herself now.
😢😢😢
It’s a mental disorder, a compulsion that is really difficult to control and like other addictions it is often resistant to treatment. It does harm and spoils childhoods. Really sad. These people do this often in response to traumas. They have the courage to go on Dr Phil despite the humiliation either because they want to change or they want to salvage relationships. They suffer too.
I cant stand her constantly laughing
I didn’t suddenly become immature, it mounted up in response to loss, suicides ,deaths ,illness,😢
Me too
I'm a hoarder but not to this extent. I'm aware of my behaviour and I aim to control it. I am making steps towards getting rid of some things. By either trashing, giving away or donating them.
She’s saving all this junk to make out of something She never will make.
I am a bit of a hoarder and it makes me feel so bad about myself. I know it frustrates my husband and he tries to be supportive and offer suggestions on how to clean it up but its so hard...you have to suffer from it to understand-its not laziness, I assure you
Laziness is a big part of it. They would rather let it pile than to put effort into cleaning. I caught myself to start hoarding and mostly cause I didn't want to fool with deciding whst to throw out or give away. Then it piles up and gets so overwhelming that it's just easier not to do nothing.
@@joycerodriguez4505 Not for everyone-I assure you I am not lazy lol. My doctor said its part of my OCD, but I would agree that with some yes, it is laziness but it is classified as a real diagnosis.
My niece when she would come stay over night,, when a little girl, smelled so bad,, we tried to make a fun time out of letting her have a huge bubble bath/ new clothes,, lots of things to feel fresh. It worked. But no telling what was going on in that home.
I
Miss her so much. 😢
You should have made it your business to find out what was going on in that house or called cps to check on her welfare, at a minimum
As her Aunt, YOU should have made it your business to know if your niece is safe. You "miss her so much"?? ANYTHING could have happened to her, in the time since you've lost contact with her. Clearly she was not in a place of safety, when she visited you, dirty and smelly as a child ! You could have been her ONLY hope. Her only hope of safety. Shame on you.
💮They could take newspapers and give them to an animal rescue group instead of throwing them away. We always use papers.
This is what ADHD looks born before 1980.
Nah. I have adhd. I hyperfocus on cleaning and it's lead to ocd. It presents in all sorts of ways
Mrs H 🇬🇧 ...Hoarders are suffering... It's NO laughing matter ... These people are suffering extreme mental torture & anxiety.. Letting go of the clutter is letting go of the trauma WHICH isn't easy... It takes time...!
Grief. Always some unaddressed grief. And yes Autism. 😮💨🙏🕊️
I am not a hoarder but I can totally relate to the 2nd lady, I am frugal and reuse and am creative and repurpose. That should be a commendable attribute...even if it is out of whack. she probably had parents from the depression.
How can anyone normal live in this mess?!?!?!?!?!
They are not normal. Hoarding is classified as a mental disorde in the Ocd category. A lot of times it starts out of something traumatic in the person's life
This is a mental health issue. Please get these hoarders some real psychological help... this can get better with therapy. This is due to loss experienced by the hoarder & there impulse is to keep everything & they cannot throw anything away...even if it's broken, useless & dirty. Throwing stuff away will not make things better...it will make the hoarding behavior worse
The word “hoarding” dignifies living in garbage. Let’s get real. There is no excuse for this.
This show exploits people who are suffering . Dr Phil shot to stardom with the help of Oprah...another person who exploited people on her show.there are different reasons for people's hoarding. It's not unlike addictions or disorders which are mentally rooted. Some people hoard stuff, other people have shopping addictions, others are obsessive compulsive. Some people feel safe having a lot of stuff even if it has no monetary value. They may have had a hard life, suffered abuse or have been or become poor. These people need some sympathy and understanding.instead they are being laughed at by the audience and their own family. No wonder they have a disorder.shame on you "Dr" Phil.
There are millions of us American senior women abandoned by their husbands and families in our “throw away “ America. I challenge you , Dr. Phil to address this larger issue . Please .
I hope he really helps these people
The way this is treated like a joke really bothers me. They all need to stop giggling through this.
My sister-in law was a “collector”. She passed in December. My husband is the executor of the estate. We were left with a huge mess. She probably spent several hundred thousand dollars on all of this. We had to have an estate sale. The lady that ran it was gobsmacked. She had to go a moving van and fill it with stuff just to make a little room to organize stuff. After 7 days of sales the house looks like nothing came out. This makes the family feel trapped. We are not making anything from the sales. We just hope we break even.
Don’t do this to your family! They will not thank you.
My Daughter is in my life , she helps me pay my phone and water bills . I'm living on 1033.00 a month and still have a mortgage payment because I've had to refinance 3 times since the divorce to pay off credit cards. This house is too big for me , the lot is almost 3/4 of an acre . I've been here 40 yrs but I know I have to get it cleaned out before I can start selling the furniture and get it presentable to show to sell . PLEASE HELP ME 🙏
Check community volunteer agencies. Not online.
Thank you that reached out in kindness not in failure
DR. PHIL, PLEASE CAN WE GET THE FULL EPISODE. 🙏🏻
If I had known these weren't going to be full videos I wouldn't have watched. How frustrating to not know if these ladies were able to get the help they needed mentally & physically.
@@user-np9mq3oz3i Me too. I wish I hadn't watched it, only to see the episode was cut short with no conclusion.
_'Im a KIND, GIVING PERSON..."...yet, she forces her family to LIVE IN THAT HOARDED MESS FOR 30 YEARS!! Got it.
I lived with a hoarder for 26 years. I never felt like there was a place for me. She passed away and now I have my own own apartment and I can actually hang up my clothes in a closet. My place is immaculate. I miss her dearly, but I don’t miss the horde.
I have a load in my car to donate but you really can't see a difference , I've done several loads , but it's a drop in a bucket !😢
I encourage you to keep going. Sometimes things seem to be worse before they get better. I can assure you those drops will add up eventually. If I had done that I wouldn't have had to pay someone to come in and clean out my house. It was very expensive and could have been avoided if only I did little by little as my mother would say.
Keep at it. I've not got many years left and can't leave my things for my young relatives to deal with. I see something and put it in a hallway I go thru constantly, then put it in a box and the day before good weather is called for into the car and next day off we go to the charity shop. Things are disappearing from the basement, the kitchen (I don't cook much anymore), the bedroom (too many pillows, blankets and linens), the office, etc, etc. Enough drops will fill the bucket or empty it.
Keep on getting rid of things...a couple times a week! You will see a difference
.....
Sometimes you see things and know what to do with them the next time round. This can happen over n over infinitely so definitely worth just keeping on repeating the process.
_She LAUGHES about it...the fact that he stays with her despite the awful hoarding, makes her feel powerful..."how many of you other women is loved SO MUCH by a man that he will stay with YOU despite you insisting in laughing about your addiction". This is just unimaginable...these hoarders are MASTER MANIPULATORS, CONTROL FREAKS!!_
You don't understand hoarding at all. She doesn't see all of the clutter, she has become blind to it. She needs mental health help, no blaming, shaming and name calling. Something is misfiring in her brain.
I love Dr Phil. He’s so compassionate
Sometimes people need others to be with them as they clean out. It is a long process and takes time and patience. Like they say they're overwhelmed and they will be losing a part of themselves.
I understand everything that these women say and I do the same thing and now I'm sitting here crying because I really know I am a hoarder and don't know how it began and don't know how to stop it
I had a SIL who was a hoarder. She hoarded her house, her mother’s house...even her car! One time she took a bad watermelon out of our trash and put it in her car. She eventually was made a ward of the state. Her hone was bulldozed with its contents and she was moved into an assisted living apartment. But her hoarding continued until she died. Sad. 😢
Alot of shame involved in hoarding
Hoarder hoard because they have too much money and nothing better to do.
I also understand that there are people that hoard things they find.
And in the end, they take nothing but leave loved ones co clean out the mess.
Humiliation is not a good therapy for hoarding.....this is wrong..
I agree. I cringed several times when wisecracks were said.
I don't think they were humiliating these women at all, if the women feel humiliated its because deep down they know how ridiculous it is to live this way....and to inflict this on others, particularly children. Making light of a subject like this is normal people's way of coping because some of it is soooo ridiculous all one can do is laugh.
The most valuable commodity is space and peace. And she thinks it’s hilarious to rob her family of that. Has she ever heard of Goodwill?????
That woman is laughing. She has something thats wrong mentally. Hoarders usually do and she needs help. I wonder what happened to her. 🥺
My grandmother was a hoarder and I loved going to her house and looking through her collections. The problem is…I’ve learned to be a hoarder but I fight it.
This is a clean hoard! Others are a far cry worse!!
Now what you gotta do is blah blah blah blah blah and throw the stuff away cuase its hurting others around you blah blah blah. Wow amazing never wouldve thought of that.
Damn, you're a genius. You should have your own show. 🙄 Don't you think if it was that easy, it would have been done a long time ago? These people CANNOT make themselves throw things out. That's the PROBLEM.
My mom says my house is in CHAOS: "Can't have anyone over syndrome"!!!!!!!!!!😂😂💖💖✌✌
Kelli is so cute and has a nice giggle, too bad she's hoarding. She's so pretty.
She needs to sleep where boy is sleeping. Let that young man have a place to sleep
What you say is true. This husband should take some photos of the house so that he has grounds to get custody, Take the kid, move out and begin again. I know this is a serious illness & I say that not to be mean but because kids come first. This is the only thing he can do because the lady isn't going to change.
I was never quite this bad but I was a hoarder. I allowed my kids to be hoarders. I went through counseling and we did family counseling. It was a rough road but I was able to get help and get rid of most everything. I now keep a clean house but I still have to watch out for keeping things I don’t need.
Great job
Hoarders objectively save a lot on how good their house is insulated. Still not worth it 😂
I am a hoarder but I don't hold garbage just furniture
The first woman has an excuse for every damn thing. “But I can use it! I might needed! They can be put in balloons! But if I throw it away, I’ve wasted a dollar!” 🙄 Second woman is in denial and will never change.
The bent fork is how quadriplegics use them. It’s quite ingenious lol.
I find this eye opening. I also feel rather stressed by the fact that this is so common.
oh this is so funny and so cute. now Im getting the giggles
My moms a hoarder and she hoards my uncles house. She doesn't even have her own house to hoard out. She also picks herself, doesn't work, has much issues, and i just go there when she's not home and steal stuff and throw it away or donate it. She doesn't even notice and my uncle appreciates it.
I lived with a hoarder it was not enjoyable . There’s not really an excuse for this type of behavior and it’s a selfish way to live and treat others that have to live along side the other persons mess.
This isn't really an issue about selfishness.. that is something the person can change. Hoarding is much deeper and a mental health issue.
Excuse me animals aren't at a down level! They are full of unconditional love and they're smarter than a lot of humans I know!
I don't understand how a spouse or family member can except not only a messy house, but a hoarding house from the very beginning! Do they tell themselves? Oh well, I can live with this until it gets floor to ceiling. Then i'll put my foot down.
Expoitacious and pure drama for likes... exactly why I quit watching Dr Phil 15 years ago. Wish I could Reclaim this time of my life that I spent watching this.
I get the endless creative ideas hoarding!!
I'm not a hoarder because my cats are alive shedding all over.
Hoaders do not see their hoards as stuff, each piece is valuable to them... I don't get it but I have seen it....
Thank you.
These must be VERY WEALTHY women, to buy and buy and buy and buy
These women are lost. I’m so sad for them.
They need help.. as this is a mental health issue
The dentist claiming she's had a hard life irks me. A child of mine is in her grave, and I don't hoard. Her "giving" is just another way of controlling people.
I have never thought of this in this way. I don't have a hoarder that I'm dealing with but what you said about controlling other people with the goods they have hit home. It is a way of controlling other people.
Wow, this is so sad. Especially the second one.
This would give me SO much anxiety. Id report her when their son didn't have a place to sleep ! Him putting her before their son is despicable.. Hoarders number 1 on their list ARE THEIR THINGS - not their family. Oh yeah - SO funny.
'Their things' serve a purpose and fill a need in their minds.. and they need help to deal with the control of keeping things and need to learn other coping mechanisms to deal with their mental health issue..
The father should have prioritised their son. He needs a normal, clean home. His own bedroom and bed!! Mostly, he needs to know he's loved enough to MATTER. To be taken care of, given loving attention. To be able to bring friends home. BOTH these 'parents' have failed him and, undoubtedly, damaged him somehow.Dr. Phil should have addressed THAT
There's so many who judge and criticize. People rent storage units without realizing it's all very similar. There's shame and pain and denial involved in this problem. There are good intentions to do better but just like losing weight, it is easier said than done. There needs to be more compassion for this condition.
How can she keep laughing?
I think it is a nervous reflex response to seeing how ridiculous she looks
Amateurs! My grandmother says she is NOT hoarder but an archivest. Yeah. Everyday is a teasure hunt. 😂
I can understand these hoarders to a point. I used to hoard media-books, cds. and blu-rays/dvds. Then I started watching episodes of the show "Hoarders" on RUclips. That inspired me to get rid of the bulk of my media with the assistance of a junk removal company. However, the hoarders shown is this video are delusional, out-of-control and unreasonable.
