The moderators of this group do their best to make sure this is a safe place to share, and that all members are children of hoarders or spouses of children of hoarders only.
Despite our best efforts, we cannot gurantee that status is true for all our members. The reality is, some may join the group for research purposes, whether it be academic research or research for a book, tv show, their organizing or cleaning business, etc.
