I can't believe there's an actual web-site about this.  God bless you.  Both my parents hoard.  It's all I've known.  I am 36 and
have a husband and 3 kids.  I don't hoard, I just have to deal with low self esteem, depression, and how to deal with my parents.  I grew up
dealing with what you all have, fear of the doorbell, no friends over, not even to use the bathroom.  My dad would keep 3 of each car he had (at
least) just for parts.  He still does, and he's 72.  As a small child my room was so bad that I couldn't close my bedroom door.  They fought
and fought.  I remember chicken bones stuck to the couch, soda bottles on the floor, papers, papers, papers.  I know there are things in their
house that I would want to keep, but I know when they pass I won't have it in me to go through it all.  Thanks to you all for sharing.
