I need to know if there is serious help out there for people with Hoarder/Squalor disorders and if they can be helped or cured?  Does this disease ever go away?
Can anyone answer my question?

I would like feedback on how to tell my boyfriend about my father's hoarding problem.  He keeps asking when I'll introduce him to my parents, who live 6 hours away.  I can barely tolerate the mess and I dread bringing someone to it.  Any advice is appreciated!
