My "sweetie" ...I can empathize with you. My "sweetie" is a hoarder too. He will fill up any empty space he finds and very seldom throws anything away. I have to really take control inside the house or I believe he would do the same inside our home. Although he has all these "needful things", he can never find anything when he needs it. <br /><br />I have often wondered what would happen if he dies before I do. I have no idea what half of the things "stored" are or what to even do with them.<br /><br />God help us! I hope the rest of your move is uneventful.Mamma Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10781533611079940480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4270739423727419862.post-61639027847816433832010-11-18T18:45:40.325-08:002010-11-18T18:45:40.325-08:00Hoarding is a fear of general loss and especially ...Hoarding is a fear of general loss and especially used as a protection against loss of love...so these items represent his footprints--his rightful place here--HIS things. <br /><br />I will understand if you don't publish this note.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4270739423727419862.post-33954954535326128442010-11-18T17:21:18.055-08:002010-11-18T17:21:18.055-08:00Dear Mayberry,

But we'll never need an entire bucket of faucets. Many buckets contain a mish mash of stuff, much of it broken or missing a part. He often can't find what he's looking for and gives up in disgust. That's the tough part. Being a true hoarder he can't see the stress, waste and expense this has created.treesonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364847483878018809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4270739423727419862.post-11284033820090816252010-11-18T17:12:10.155-08:002010-11-18T17:12:10.155-08:00In Sweetie's defense, I've saved a lot of ...In Sweetie's defense, I've saved a lot of coin with the things I've "hoarded". Many times, I've got what I need to repair something on hand. No trip to the hardware store, no cash outlay.

I guess maybe he put himself in your place and knew he would like to be helped as much as possible if he were in your situation. <br />I hope the rest of your move is less eventful.
