Many of the above names apply. There was a special on ABC last night or the night before that addressed people that hoard everything. They put these people in a Cat Scan and observed their brains while they showed them items that they had to decide whether to keep or throw away. These decisions caused their brain to react in the pain region because their decisions caused them pain. It was very informative and unusual.

someone who probably grew up having to make the most of what they had which was not much and now that they can afford more, they hold onto everything still.
my best friend's mom grew up during the depression and was 7 out of 8 kids. she grew up with little to nothing. now she and her hubby are retired, well off but she still holds onto every bit of everything that crosses her path. most of it is just trash but if you try toss anything she gets angry. very nice house on the outside...inside, wow.
she smacked my hands once for throwing away the bowls take out soups comes in.
it is a sickness.

Be prepared now to not see the youngsters as many times, if in any respect. they're going to attempt accountable you for kicking them out. faster or later those youthful babies will advance up and word the reality. Then they're going to seem for you. I kind of understand what you're dealing with. I actually have a sister who's as undesirable as yours and she or he bled my mom dry. My mom only needed her grandkids to be ok and became assisting. each so often you should provide up so that they're going to start up assisting themselves. sturdy success and God bless. EDIT: get rid of the coverage coverage. in case you opt for to go away some thing for the youngsters it truly is tremendous. only put in a stipulation that they get it even as adults, like 21 or 25. this way the mother and father do not take it and the youngsters are previous adequate to with any success spend it properly.
