- Single mum Sarah from Dorset reveals how the two bedroom flat she shares with teenage son Ally is being taken over by her vast hoard of knick-knacks and clutter, putting a constant strain on their relationship.
Fifty-six-year-old bachelor Roddy's impressive five story home in London has become overwhelmed by 29 years' worth of newspapers, with Roddy no longer able to sleep in his own bedroom. It's time for him to clear out the junk.

The moment he realized that newspapers are only relevant in the day they're printed was just.... the quality content I've been searching for my whole life
I mean they can be useful for research purposes but he obviously is never going to need them.
Printed newspapers were a valuable source of information up until 21st century.
They very valuable to us historians :)
@@CarinaKi aren’t there huge archives for stuff like that in big libraries
I kept on thinking that heing as wealthy as he is he could probably afford to subscribe online to a number of newspapers and old TV shows and have access to many without having to have them in his home.
Roddy is hilarious for some reason. He’s like a coked up spoiled rich boy in an old man’s body. Him realizing you could fold clothes is just 👌🏼 Chef’s kiss
Yup! I loved it
I don't think he's hilarious. He is a spoiled rich kid. A d takes no response for his situation. His "Ex" is just helping him to perpetuate his lifestyle
HOW is it possible to be that age and never ever folded a shirt?!?!
I agree with the previous comment- his “parents” absolutely failed him. There’s more to parenting than making babies.
I haven't reached this one yet😆 From the very start, he seems like a spoiled rich brat who grew up with cleaners picking up his mess.
Roddy is a Man Baby
these ladies who come to help the hoarders clean up their homes are beautiful angels. So patient and kind!
They get paid very well though
@@indelicato22 I would hope so! You would be surprised how little money people get paid for wages in the UK
Twins ?
Oh Lord they should be Glad I'm not trying to clean them up. I'm afraid I would just light a match 🥵🌡️👋
They sure look like Twins
Madam has the patience of a saint. If someone had yelled and swore at me like that, when I'm already doing so much, I probably would have withdrawn.
Do you come from a Nordic culture? I'm American but lived in a Mediterranean country for about 10 years. I think I actually prefer the mild outbursts that were typical there compared to the seething and the silent treatment and grudges that I have witnessed in cultures that appear all so polite to one another. I think if this is so bothersome you would have a bit of difficulty with working with troubled youth.
Hillary: "Oh that's hideous."
Roddy: "It's not. It's f*king Versace!"
Hillary: "Oh." 😂😂
a lot of times Versace IS hideous
@@dawnsalois agreed!

That dialog is precious 😆😹😹
I want to see a show or two where he visits past hoarders to see how they are doing a year or two after they got rid of their hoards..
Yes so do I. Revisit the hoarders
@@verityowens9638 O Lord 🙏
I've thought follow ups would be good, too. Also, comparisons with neighbors feeling their neighbors are too hick while functioning in societies that can afford regular gardners or enough free time and know how to keep things like a better kept yard and home and don't do a thing to help them while others help overturn such big hoards. Now, some are being trafficked and have to pay part of their smaller salary when if they could move they could find better jobs without overtime and even neighborhood gardners, but that wouldn't go along with the oppressive plan to judge and loot. Hopefully, there will be more social accountability with time.
They don't revisit because about 75% of hoarders re-hoard after a cleanup.
@@JPKnapp-ro6xm Just 75%?
Roddy is the real example that money can’t buy happiness.
And you can still fill with hoard a mansion if your troubled heart is into it…
Dr. Kiosses must be a wizard. I've just discovered this series. It is so much more insightful than the US versions of hoarders where they come in and clean in 3 days and make the transformations but almost with brutality towards the hoarders. My husband struggles with this. I'm always looking for ways to gently help him.
I agree with you. I don't like the US version. They don't treat the hoarders problem...they just do it for show...the reason why I watch this version is because of Dr Klossies..coz am learning as well and telling myself what are the triggers to start hoarding and how I can realise that quickly before it overwhelms me.
I think the difference is that by the time they get to the homeowner in the US, they're in a crisis situation and about to lose their homes. There is no time for therapy first.
I must disagree with you. In the US version most hoarders are at a breaking point where they risk loosing their home , although the therapist are there to help with coping and understanding why they must get rid of items more is on the line and risk homelessness that is why the UK version is a bit more “gentle” with the time the have. I’m addition the US version is just a few days usually 3-4 working days as for the UK , the therapist returns to check on the progress with almost a month going by - hence the aggressive tackling of the situation.
Also keep in mind these people are getting a psychologist to help them. In the UK there is health care for citizens. I’m in the USA and insurance may or may not cover psychiatric care or it’s limited by how many appointments you are allowed yearly and there are deductibles and copays. My insurance charges $75 copay today see a mental health professional. That’s WITH insurance. To see a mental health professional without insurance I was paying $250 per session. So the USA mental health isn’t treated very well and these hoarders are at the end of the line. They are at a point where the government has stepped in and if they don’t comply asap they will be removed from their home, they will have to pay fines, and if the house is condemned they will be charged the cost of demolition which is easily between $30-60,000.
I agree. The US version doesn’t deal with the underlying issues.
Growing up in a hoard house I will never, ever be a hoarder. It raises my anxiety to even have a couple of items on one table and I’m 37. Hoarding parents, if you won’t do it for you, do it for your kids because some day we will become adults and likely traumatized.
Child of a hoarder...they don't get any better😐..I'm 56. My mom lives with me now. I'm a neat freak and we fight daily. She still has her house that is filled to the brim. Find your peace however you can😎
@@vjdrive1230 OMG I don’t know how you stand it. My parents couldn’t live with me, I have to have wide open spaces to move around. Did your parents also junk up their cars by throwing trash or cans on the floorboard?
I totally agree and I am the complete opposite from my mom, I hate clutter and I so obsessive about keeping things clean and clutter free. I now have the problem where I am uncomfortable having people in because they make a mess.
@@sandrawebster1083 and rarely if never clean up their own messes too. Was your mom a really bad hoarder?
Unfortunately, my parents were Hoarders and so am I. I cannot get rid of stuff.
Roddy's ex HiIllary is such a sweetheart for opening her home up to Roddy, but I would have shown him the door if he ever yelled at me the way he yelled at her, ESPECIALLY as all she was trying to do was help him :'(
That shows their love for each other is genuine; whether as romantic partners or friends.
That shows their love for each other is genuine; whether as romantic partners or friends.
@@CherieDeDieu Don't romanticize abusing women.
I agree, no one has a right to speak to another person like that. It's abusive. Having grown up with a man who shouted and dominated the three women in his family, I very much felt her withdrawal when he lost it. It's time to end all such abuse. it needs to be called out, and viewed for what it is.
Yup, I'd have walked out and not let him back in my house, either, as soon as I realized he was yelling about the help and not the mess, or his own lack of ability to deal with it. Bye.
I wonder what the son feels about losing his twin ? I wonder if the son feels sad that his mom is so wrapped up in her grief of his brother when she still has him, but her focus is on the son that died. What about his grief of having a twin that died ?
I was thinking the same. She’s so caught up in losing her other son she can’t see that she’s losing the one she has.
I was just like her son, my mom was grieving for more than a year after my brother passed away and she neglected me for quite a while until one day I got expelled for bad behavior from school and she realized that she still has me. She got better and started focusing on me❤
I don't feel that she neglected her son in a major way although she did neglect her home. He turned out quite well. You do not get that way from a neglectful mother. I have more than one child but if I lost one, I don't think I could get over it well but it does not mean that I would not love or necessarily neglect the others.
And what about having to live in that crippling mess because a sibling passed away?! That is NO EXCUSE. Mother is SICK. Better if he had been removed from the home by Child Protective Services.
i noticed that too...also that she celbrated with 'friends'
Roddy has a lot of anger, 6 weeks therapy is not enough time to tackle his issues
He is just a spoilt brat
It’s a good start. Why so many wealthy people have children just to send them off to boarding schools is beyond my understanding. Why have children if you’re not going to raise and nurture them? It would be equivalent to getting pets and then sending them away to someone else to the majority of the work.
Many kids who go away to boarding schools are abused or neglected. Not all boarding schools have good people in them. There are bullies, cold and nasty staff, etc. It’s no wonder so many kids from boarding schools have abandonment issues, emotional emptiness and anger. Wealthy parents are frequently the worst parents. They should not have children if they aren’t going to parent their children.
My parents have hoarding tendencies and I did too, when I was a child and in the beginning of adulthood. Actually was when I discovered this show that I understood it was a problem. Watching this, I trackled the entire house from room to room, it tooked almost 4 years ( because I didn't own a car and had to get help from my uncle to give things to charity). I would put out a big bag of trash almost every 2 days, while my parents were sleeping.
I've actually never said to my parents any of this because I think they would get upset or miss stuff I gave to charity, but I never touched the stuff on their bedroom because I thought it should be more 'precious'.
Bless you. And respect for having the strength to do it all alone.
I must ask how didn’t your parents notice the house getting emptier?
Actually my father in law was a hoarder and my husband was tucking all things he brought to the house away without telling him that. Funny that my father in law never noticed what was gone. They accumulate so much, they do not remember what is where
@@HoneyQuint Be careful what you throw out. My husband was not really a hoarder except of books. He did have a pair of corduroy pants that he loved but my father-in-law despised. Once my father-in-law snatched them and threw them away. My husband was really concerned about his missing beloved and comfortable corduroy pants and I spent all of day searching my home for them, I even climbed up in the attic to see if they somehow could have found their way up there. My mother-in-law called and asked how I was doing and I said I'm upset because I can't find the beloved corduroys. She told me, I think you better ask your father-in-law about that. I still don't understand why my father-in-law hated those pants so much but at least I was relieved that the search was over.
Watching these shows has helped me declutter and keep clutter free.
Me too. Year ago I watched loads of shows about hoarders. I cleaned my 40 sqm flat one weekend and I took out:
- one 60 L trash bag of old clothes (too small, with some hols, too washed - too bad to give away anywhere)
- one 60 L trash bag of stuff left after cleaning (used paper towels, kitchen towels and rubs far too dirty to wash them
- one 35 L trash bag full of paper
- three 40 L backpacks of books - which I gave away to library.
I realised how much cups do I have - I can invite like 15 - 20 people and they can tea or coffee all at the same time.
These shows help me feel better about the pile of laundry that's never folded 😉😂
P
@@annaliseklol. I wish I had had that much. I had over 40+ 50l garbage bags leave my bedroom (mostly) and livingroom. That's apparently what years of being paralyzed by depression can do 😢
❤❤❤I
I struggled to feel empathy for "Roddy" because of his entitlement, but it goes to show that mental illness affect everyone and should be treated patiently and kindly. I have too have endured my years of addiction because of trauma. I should know better than to feel one is above another when it comes to pain.
Love to anyone still fighting for their happiness and health.

@@harshitbasand7523 You are copy/pasting comments on all these Hoarder videos. I notice you only target women and if they respond to you, you then try to contact them on Instagram. This is not a dating site, nor a scam site, so either join the conversation with normal comments, or, as I have seen women ask you to do, leave them alone.
I love how he puts two people together who can relate to each other.
I like that this show address the hoarder mental issues, and helps them resolve them.
I lived next door to a Roddy like man. He said his father invented Aero chocolate and that's the fortune he lived off. Almost exactly the same style of house, 5 stories. Rosedale Rd, West Dulwich. The fellow who lived there camped in one room of the entire house. He had a mint vintage Jaguar out front that he couldn't drive. The front door was bullet proof glass and man alive, the STUFF IN THERE. He was deeply eccentric and very lonely.
Wow! Sad really.. :(
Contact the studio.
Roddy's ex-girlfriend, Hillary should have stood up, walked out and gone home when he went ballistic. Then, changed the locks to her home and made him go back and sleep in his own mess. She was too kind-hearted. He says 'sorry' and gives reasons for his bad behaviour, but I have no patience for adult temper tantrums. I grew up with a 'collector.' Every room was filled with 'valuable' things so I may be biased.
Have you no heart? Obviously Robby is terrified to feel the pain within himself, that is why he hoards. Are you even human??? He said he was sorry, he recognised he got too upset and was not respectful. Its called pain. But robots like you obviously do not recognise human emotion.
@@noonespecial4171 Shame on you excusing abuse. plenty of others face worse than roddy and don't mistreat others. Mental illness is not an excuse for cruelty to others.
@@JoJo-ie8sl interesting when one really reflects on your words and tone, that you have absolutely no idea what abuse truly is. Narcissists, Sociopaths and Psychopaths ALWAYS are offended as their EGO is not being worshipped. Meanwhile in reality, he yelled because he is A. HUMAN .... B. SCARED ... C. BECAUSE HE KNOWS HER AND FEELS SAFE.
YOU would not recognize abuse if it was right in front of your face!
@@noonespecial4171 It's obvious that you have never lived with a hoarder, otherwise you would realize what a nightmare they are to live with.
@@gillianbrookwell1678 has it occurred to your pea sized brain that people are able to experience this situation, process it then are enabled to discuss it in a way that is non-attached and void of hate? No? You prefer to be as stuck as the hoarders and not seek to understand, process? Great - just remember that finger pointing at me is you projecting. It might be a good idea in future to deal with your own messy mind before accusing anyone of same. That register??? No? Maybe because your mind is so messy and disorganised clinging to the past that you can't fathom a healthy mind. I hope you didn't breed - and I mean that sincerely, if you can't recognise a healthy mind because yours is so chock full of junk.
This must be so painful to share, but BRAVO to them. They did it. They should be proud of themselves!
Was the Mum upset because the first thing her son does when he gets home is his homework instead of helping her declutter? Did anyone else catch that near the beginning?
I think she was trying to divert her guilt feelings onto him. He was talking about why she couldn't stick to de-cluttering, so she responded that he didn't stick to his schedule either and doing his homework when he got home. That's how I read it anyway.
No she was upset that he is supposed to come home and do his Homework but he doesn’t, she was changing the subject
Yeah, he promised to help but then goes straight to the books after school...she cant see behing her own pain what a blessing that is. Poor lad probably have a huge emotional burden to carry with her with no dad in the house and the twin that survived.
Yep it is child abuse.
Yes and I thought it was very selfish on her part; It's not up to her son to clean up his mothers hoard. She made it this way, she should clear it.
Nothing is better than the smiles on the faces of Sarah and Roddy at the end of this video!
Most of all the smile on Sarah's poor SON, who had to deal with her hoard and depression and the shame of how his home life was. You know he couldn't bring any friends around.
I use to be a hoarder; not as bad as them but bad enough; because of life situations, I had to change; 10yrs later, I'm now a minimalist; my entire life can fit in a 60 litre storage bin
Wow! How do get to the other extreme? Amazing, well done! I'm a minimalist at heart but though I don't hoard, I'd love to own 1/2 of what I do. Life is so much better with less.
My hero xD
😱
Allyson and Zoe are so patient, respectful and kind with these people.....I hope the people find balance and peace in their lives.
This man's parents failed him. He seems to have not been taught any essential life skills. Essentially he's 12.
Totally agree! How do you get through life without even knowing a simple thing like folding a shirt. I mean, even if nobody ever showed you, you should be able to figure something like that out...
Kudos to Roddy to have the guts to confront his pain and his issues and be vulnerable. It takes courage.
@@themamabearlife3339 That's what hired help us for. You can't believe he was actually hoovering his own floors once they finished picking up.
So proud of that blonde lady. She looks so relieved, happy and 10 years younger afterwards.
I feel for both of them but really got a kick out of Roddy. I love his sense of humor. The fact that he was willing to be filmed like this says a lot. All the money in the world can't make up for parents who shipped him off instead of loving and nurturing him. I am surprised that Sarah wasn't willing to change for the son she does have but she obviously needed grief counseling which never came until now. Wish them both the best going forward.
Unfortunately, leaving for boarding school at 8yo is very normal for British upper class even today :(
I'm drawn to people who are cared for, being treated well. Not judged but helped to solve problems. I love kindness. Melts my heart ❤️
This isn't as bad as many others I've seen. At least they're able to walk around and you can even see the floor here and there.
I don't think you can compare hoarders and say they can reach certain places in their home. It is a huge problem if you can't throw away things and can't enjoy your home. Can't invite people.
Yes, and it is a good thing they reached out for help and not waited until it got too late.
Omg you're kidding right?
@@xandrafrancois That wasn't my intention. I'm not saying this guy don't need help. I am only stating it's not the worst I've seen.
@@vestaosto Absolutely. I wasn't trying to say he didn't need help. I only stated it's not the worst I've seen.
I'm a minimalist, but I feel a very strong urge to sort through my things to see if there's something I don't need to give away after watching this 😅
Me too
The day I realised I was a hoarder, I cried. It's legitimately a whole big thing that "normal" people wouldn't understand. Everything COULD have a use. Everything MIGHT be able to be saved. There's a huge attachment to the "things" from our whole lives in our space. BUT I'm so glad that I've started to tackle my house finally to make it a HOME 🏡 🥰
I got exactly like ol Roddy there. Very angry, denial, all of it.
Hey, I just came across your comment and was wondering how you are doing these days?!
I think you are amazing for realizing you have a problem and being open to work on it.
I also believe that seeing that a lot of thing CAN have a use is not a bad thing.
The issue lays in not being able to make sure it gets to the right place where it actually will be used in a timely manner.
I hope you are happy and content with how things are right now. Because, that is what really matters ❤
You can do it!
Most people don't realize they have a problem. Years ago I had my father in law over. I was watching hoarders like I usually did and it struck him. He stood up and said "WOW, I'm a hoarder " he was a child of the depression and had always held onto things. He actually cleaned his property up and put the things he wanted for projects in his shed. Seeing someone else with the problem opened his eyes
Roddy is like a two year old throwing fits.

He is emotionally stunted because of his experience of being sent to boarding school aged 8. Boarding school trauma is common in the upper classes in the UK.
@@harshitbasand7523 I don't see the connection.
@@sopyleecrypt6899 It is very interesting observation. Thanks for that.
@@gillianbrookwell1678 but do you know India Dharavi slum? 🤪
Sarah if you ever read this:
You DESERVE to be happy. Your boy was so polite and caring. You did well mama💕
I hope all of these people ended up being happy. I've usually thought of my house as fairly organized but this morning I turned on an episode of this show. I've watched/listened to one after another all day long. As I watched/listened I cleaned out both of my dressers, several closets, and multiple cabinets. I have two boxes of donation items and EIGHT HEFTY BAGS OF TRASH to take to the dump in the morning. Thank you for the inspiration! ❤️
So sad that Sara didn’t have counselling when her twin son died all those years ago.
YES. Counselling or therapy is so valuable.
I feel for her so much.
It’s sad when people suffer for years because they never got appropriate mental health treatment.
She was definitely offered it, but probably refused it.
Roddy's the British Gerard Depardieu.
Hahahaha he totally is 🤣
Nah..this guy likes women of his own age. And cant image him being a r@pist.
Lol I knew he looked familiar to someone famous
@@iivy1818 I live in india dharavi slum
so true ah ah ah and I am French lol
He has a really nice friend there, if anyone yelled at me like that I'd be out the door.
If I were the mental health expert on this show, I would have talked to the son about how it feels to be the living child whose mother is so traumatized by the loss of the other child. I wonder how I would feel in that situation. Might feel worthless, like why am I not enough to make you happy?
He seems like a fairly well adjusted child. If he felt worthless or that she had only loved the other twin, it would show in bad behavior. They seem to have a decent relationship. The clutter seems to have been built up over the years so it might not have been so bad in his early years. I think she appears to be generally a reasonable person. Grieving a lost child is to be expected and doesn't mean that she doesn't love him any less. It definitely does affect her ability to part with things and they finally reached a crisis point were the amount of stuff was overwhelming.
I agree with both of these comments. Her living son seemed well adjusted and wise beyond his years. They showed them having fun bowling and mom said they love to do things together. People get too critical from just seeing a small glimpse of people's lives.
I wish brain chemicals could be easier analyzed like blood, it might help a lot of depressed/stuck people.
That would be a helpful development
Actually there is something called EEG, aka neurofeedback, which scans brainwaves and reveals possible mental illnesses. I had mine done and it showed that I have a type of ADHD which responds well to stimulants
That woke an amazing thing. Might Even could diagnose personality disorders like sociopath and such. Test people in youth with yearly checkups and treat accordingly

Music: 🙌💃😂
It is so great to see their faces light up when they understand the process. A load of boulders off their shoulders when they can get rid of things. It's an amazing transformation.

What about the son that is alive? She forgets that she has a living, breathing son.
He seems alrite. Just because producers chose on focusing on her letting go of her grief doesn't mean that the other one has been abandoned. A very immature assumption
@@HoneyQuint but to let a child whom has no control over the situation grow up in a stuffed up house, is literally abuse, abuse a living person over the grieving of a long since deceased one, criminal....
even though the house may not have been physicallybiologically toxic, it is still mentally toxic and imprisoning
@@coreysuffield you do not know the full story. stop judging
He apologized for yelling at her, and immediately looked at the camera
True, one wonders if he'd apologize if the cameras were there, and it also seemed like she accepted the apology quickly as if by reflex, like she'd be through that song and dance many times before. She did mention that the ultimate breakup between them was because he was angry that she had cleaned and removed things for him. So, probably he's done this many times in the 8 years they ere together, and she's used to be treated that way, which is sad.
@@venus_envy I noticed her cowed look and her immediate attempts to placate him. She needs to get some distance from him and set some boundaries as it’s a dysfunctional relationship.
Just Brilliant!! One of my favorite episodes. So happy for both people. You can see how much progress they have made mentally and how much lighter they feel. 💜
I’m so pleased that Sarah got her place sorted.....well done. It must have been very difficult for her.
They only showed two rooms in Roddy`s house.. you wonder what the rest of the house looks like?
So true!
Wish mine could have such style. I'm playing with a decorating app as I improve my bit of hoarder in me.
They actually showed just a bit more, the hallway, kitchen, stairs dining and 1 bedroom. I wanted to see the other areas and the bathroom. My guess is the rest of the house is still trash...
@@detrajackson5992 hopefully, he'll continue. I just offered to volunteer to help people online.
@@dear9530 that's nice of you!! I should maybe do the same. One of my specialties is that I am a public health nurse. I used to have to go in and inspect homes like those and it was a MESS!! I would work with them unfortunately it was limited because I was there with social work services and were always minor children involved and if there was a danger and there usually was, things were done quick and fast so that their children could be returned or so they wouldn't be removed. It was so very emotionally overwhelming for me tbh. Online however is so much better because you are not physically there...idk but good luck!!
to quote Peep Show, Roddy is a bit of a "posh spaz"
He is the personification of the word disheveled.
@@deedrole5296 He said he wanted to keep his Versace jacket but then he wore that awful tattered sweater full of holes to a few different meetings outside his house. That's the irony of it.
In what way is he a POSH SPAZ?
Something I've found helpful when I'm dealing with items that have memories attached (like childhood, etc). I take a picture of them and then I rehome the item. These items had been stuffed in boxes for decades so they were not being used; just visual noise. I have a file on my computer with all the images (and I never look at it)
”I don't like wasting things". The irony here is that his life is wasted in many levels,
especially his emotional health. And the more he was able to let go, the healthier he got.
He (and also Sarah) even looks very different.
Very true
@@bigb853 do u know india dharavi slum I live there
I struggled my whole 41 years with ADHD and I feel like something for that might help him, it has been lifechanging for me! I am not a psychiatrist at all but just watching him, he reminds me of me lol
I can see how hoarders sometimes have a distorted idea of 'not wasting things' when that is exactly what they are doing.
If it has no use to anyone. it's not needed. Donate it if you want it used.
Roddy's a mess. Internally and externally.
I came here to say this.
Nothing needing to get up to go to work wouldn't help....
I like his eccentricities!
He looks scruffy and unkept; yes he is a complete mess with attitude.
Looking at the way he is dressed at the end when Stelios visits him with his shirt unbuttoned, hair all messy, half of his shirt is sticking out on the side etc, I guess he's just simply an untidy person to begin with. Makes me wonder how he's doing now.
I love to see the change in attitudes of the hoarders. They really look happy.
I like the british approach to addressing hoarding. Unlike the american and canadain shows where they shout at each other. To destructive for me.
When Roddy started yelling it scared my cat
Is ur cat a hoarder?
How wonderful for these two … I’m so happy for them. Well done team!!
What causes hoarding disorder?
Having a relative with the disorder.
Brain injury that triggers the need to save things.
Traumatic life event.
Mental disorders such as depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Uncontrollable buying habits.
Inability to pass up free items such as coupons and flyers.👍
So true!!
I believe it is a form of OCD
It's a mental health thing, Slso it seems to be genetic. They don't ever pick up anything or throw things out, even rubbish. I can't be bothered wstching these. They all go back to the same thing. What about a follow up. You can guarantee they all end up in the same mess
Why do they collect newspapers.they are all on microfilm
Good definition. Thanks.
Turning blame on the young son was horrendous to hear, apologise for your effect on his childhood. In one room l can now throw away everyday and l love these helpers.
I know I have a problem. My mother was a neat but chronic hoarder, and when both parents died unexpectedly within a few months of each other 20 years ago, I was stuck with handling everything alone, my sister having relocated to Egypt in the late 80s. I have lived in several homes with my children and three different partners, who have been tolerant in varying degrees. Every time I move I do shed certain things, but so much baggage comes along! Everything has a history or a childhood memory, and I feel as if I am betraying my parents by getting rid of it.
Darling, you are betraying yourself, if you live with the past not allowing present and future in. Make a special memory box, choose items to put in and keep and let room for you. 💗
@Maggie Follett There is a great channel, Marissa Zen, she used to be just like you. Do check her out! :)
You'd think in a $4m house he'd be able to get a housekeeper
That would go for all of them, with the money they use to buy all those things to fill their houses, they could all theoretically afford househelps
Yes, true, I just don't think it's about money. It is truly a mental illness
I just loved his comment about a newspaper with the picture of the Queen at age eighty being a historical document, as if it's the only one of its kind and Roddy was responsible for keeping it safe (on the floor of his room) for future generations to access.
Excellent observation 👍🏻
I really liked Roddey. At first I thought he'd never be able to do it and what a beautiful building. I hope he continues with his care. Having someone help with a task can make all the difference.
Hilary needs to put Roddy out of her house! There’s plenty of room for him, in the room he’s kicking stuff around in! Don’t feel a bit sorry for him.
When you order Tom cruise off wish and it's also arrived damaged 😂 the rich dude I dunno why reminds me of that
Hahahaha
I thought of it too.
I live in india dharavi slum
Lmfao 😂
Roddy’s house is beautiful. Very expensive in London. Can 100% see why they broke up though.
The best episode ever. Amazing transformation of both their lives where they look so much happier and content
The cleaners really should wear masks. The first hoarder, in the 5 story town home.... makes my heart break for the home. So much disrespect for the building. His smoking could very easily cause a fire . I hope the problem really will be solved long term. Both hoarders lives are so sad. I hope the best for them. I feel the saddest for Sarah.
Another one completely brainwashed into thinking you need a mask for everything in life.
@@catkasimir bahahaha thanks for actually making me laugh out loud 🤣
@@catkasimir excess dust can actually be a health hazard and for example people like me who are allergic to dust it can become a breathing Hazzard. A mask helps cut down on breathing dust particles which makes it safer and less likely I'll have an asthma attack.
I live in india here we wear no mask
@@blablattaria3571 I suggest you do research before calling someone obedient through fear on something you clearly have no idea about, it's not making you look smart. Try and keep in mind of the sizes of dust particles and co2 particles when you do your research on different masks, as they make many different masks for different uses.
This is a reminder that if you have experienced loss and/or trauma, you really need to see a counsellor or something similar. These people both seem to have trauma that has not be dealt with.
Do u know india dharavi slum
Mentally it seems like Roddy has stopped growing at 22 when he lost his brother. Good that he’s moving on.
You're being generous. I put him at about 4 years old when he had that tantrum.
More like he's stuck at 8 years old when he was sent off to boarding school.
Sara is blaming her CHILD for the hoard! Because HE hasn't cleaned it up!
She's repugnant. That poor boy is SUFFERING.
Her bedroom AFTER it was tidied told me all I need to know. Stuffed teddy bears everywhere? You’d never guess it wasn’t a young teenagers bedroom.
I'm guessing that boy didn't make the hoard....poor kid
Someday she'll wonder why her son and his wife and kids don't visit. You miss out on so much of life
Tragic what hoarders put their children through.
Yes but where is the greek music when they introduce Stelios??
This comment is gold!
I'm thinking they do that because he is Greek. His name is a dead giveaway.
@@livalittle7 so your inability to ever find a decent man to tolerate you
Watching this has helped me. Thank you.

Roddy is just... a fascinating character. i really like this hoarders show so far, easilly my facourite show revolving around this concept so far.
Roddy needs his own show of just daily life
Sarah's bedroom is over crowded, although HEAPS better, but the stuffed toys, oh no !! But so happy for her.
Honestly, this guy is not that bad at all. He has enough space that if he wanted to just have one room where all his newspapers were kept in dated order and in file cabinets, he could AND his house would be totally fine. He just needs to organize. Other people can't even get their body into rooms because they're so hoarded.
Exactly, some bookshelves would've helped
I feel like this guy is catching his hoarding early
The tendency's there though, so he'd likely just keep going. It's not about having room for the stuff, it's about not accumulating, being able to discard, and being able to organise, these areas of executive function are often what's impaired in hoarding disorder.
i just love this show, i love the transformation! I hope they are proud of themselves and enjoy their new life! i'm so glad they were able to move on
I feel much better watching how some people live. I used to think my flat is untidy but is not!
4:18 "Accused of smuggling rubbish out" if that isnt the funniest thing!
I would like to see some young men who have a hoarding problem. Young men who are completely disorganized.. we learn that hoarding is often the result of some tragedy,but what about the hoarders who were just messy and lazy teenagers and continued with lazy habits?
I remember one American hoarder kinda like that but he also had horrible anxiety/panic attacks, depression & an alcoholic dad so it’s rarely if ever “just laziness” when u get past messiness (which doesn’t make for great tv)
But the guy from hoarders was named jake if u wanna see it
The season 1 episode jake/shirley
In obsessive compulsive cleaners they pair up hoarders with OCD cleaners. I have seen an episode with 2 brothers / students of about 20y that got to live in their mothers house when she moved in with her boyfriend. The house was a tip. I don't think there was trauma there. But I have seen very much situations on tv and loss is at the base of most of them.
They get hoarders by having people contact them. Younger people may not realize they have a problem or they may grow out of it 🤷♀️. Especially if it’s just a matter of being lazy.
Sarah has such a beautiful smile and the sweetest dimples on her cheeks. I hope she can smile more often now and more freely.
Just wish he's learn to tuck in his shirts!!
"I went through xyz & I'm not a hoarder". That's because everyone experiences things differently. To some people combat results in trauma, to others it does not. Likewise with loss and hoarding. That doesn't make these kind folks weak. Maybe you are ungrateful for your resiliency.
That's an interesting point of view ...
My dad had the same problem.. and when he moved out, we cleaned his whole home from junk.. literally we carried out around 1000lb.. of junk. May be more.. specially newspapers. And empty glass cans.. journals etc.
I feel like Roddy is not a real hoarder, just a lazy guy who hates cleaning because he didn't have to lift a finger his whole life. The first discussion was forced "are you ovewhelmed by the stuff? ... uhhh yeah, of course". And he wasn't resisting much. I think he was just waiting for an opportunity for someone to help him clean.
Unfortunately, he was not. His former partner used to clean up for him, pay attention to wot she said. He would never let her touch newspapers and she left his house because he was accusing her of 'smuggling' his newspapers out of the house. I wish people cud focus on what was told n shown in one shprt 47 min videp
Yay Season 2. Can't wait to see more. Thanks for the full episodes :D
His terrible habit of just throwing it on the floor is so ingrained, it will continue. Guaranteed. He has no clue
I love how these two ladies bring in like ten packing boxes to deal with an entire house!
That's just to get started!!! And to not overwhelm the hoarder but to show that they do mean business.
I gotta admit, I like hoarding stuff also...like everything that belongs to me are forever attached... but if you have asian parents and guardian... well all of my stuff was like "WEE" " WEEE" "WEEEE" because they literally flew it outside of the house.
Wee is another word for urine
Forcing pets and children to live under these conditions is animal cruelty and child abuse 🥺😔😞😔😢
Right On Roddy! Take out The Papers and The trash, Don't Come Back, Yackety Yack!
Do u know india dharavi slum
I can’t close my eyes cause there’s clutter in my mind
That’s just messy compared to American hoarding that goes from floor to ceiling
The worst one I ever saw was a couple in Florida. They had raw sewage flowing through their downstairs hallway, rotting the whole house apart. IIRC she "Showered" under the garden hose. Multiple mummified cats found during the clean. These are just... nothing by comparison.
Exactly.
Absolutely true.
I agree...im American and American hoarders are GROSS.....
British hoarders wouldn't even be considered hoarders in America, just a little messy 🙄
Rodney and Sarah are both so logical about their hoarding. It was interesting to hear them think out loud about their battle between logic and desire. The therapy session was really interesting too. I've never seen that done on a hoarding show. Especially bringing both hoarders in together...
After watching dis i clean up my room very well
Excellent...
Humane...
Understanding...
They tried to fix... Broken Hearts and Completely lost minds...
Life is a long way..
They actually acted a big support and love for them.
Roddy's ex is a saint. Better than me. I couldn't handle it.
I couldn't stand his sloppy appearance and foul language; He'd be out on his heels.
Unfortunately although she might be doing it as a kindness it’s enabling his dysfunctional behaviour. Sounds like an unhealthy codependent relationship.
Thanks for a great upload very informative ❤
Libraries keep records of newspapers. You don't have to do that.
It is interesting how the first guy has so many piles of newspapers. Typically, hoards seem to hoard in bigger piles and things other than newspapers.
