I was wondering if developing this problem
yourself is common or am I the exception?  If anyone knows comments
would be greatly appreciated.  I know what a normal house should look
like, I just don't know how to do it....

I have a pretty extreme situation with hoarding.  I grew up
with a hoarder, my mother.  I dealt with depression and a fear of
hiding my whole life.  I understand she has a problem, but the anger you
feel towards that person is uncontrollable.  I try to be patient and
understanding but it's hard.You can only show the world  a face of someone
pretending to be normal. 

I finally moved out of my parents house, but
they moved with me.  Trying to live out of that house was just too much
for them.  They eventually lost the house and it was condemned.   My
dad has since passed away and now my house is uncontrolable. 

I don't know if being away from my mom would completely help because I now have
problems too.  I know inside there is a woman screaming that wants order
but I don't know how to bring her out.  My mother has health problems
now and is not a lot of help. 

She doesn't clean or even try to throw
stuff out unless there is an "emergency".  She will never get help for
this I know.  I need help dealing with the pain of this disorder.  I
would almost like to start a support group in my area but need to get my
life in order myself first.  I was wondering if developing this problem
yourself is common or am I the exception?  If anyone knows comments
would be greatly appreciated.  I know what a normal house should look
like, I just don't know how to do it.
