story =

My mom has always had a problem with clutter.  So does my
brother.  Neither one of them can throw, sell, or give anything away.  My
mother's house is filthy, because not only is it cluttered, it's dirty
because she is 74 and can't cope with it anymore and yet she won't get
rid of stuff.  Her clutter runs her life. 

She has an acquaintance who is
constantly bringing her clothes but she won't tell this person no, so
she has clothes in bags that she won't give or throw away.  I don't
live close to her and even if I did I wouldn't be able to do much I don't
think.  It bothers me because I feel like the oddball in my family.  My
father is deceased and he and I were the ones who didn't hoard.  So
now I feel I am the one with the problem though I know fully well that I
am not.  It drives me crazy because I know this is affecting her
quality of life.
