Relationship : Grandson - in - law
Source : Youtube
Message :
My wife and I were asked 12 years ago to move in with her
Grandma by her grandma, to help "take care of the house". Grandma is a
hoarder extradonaire. Since we have been there, the garage (among other
rooms) is unuseable except for a "trail" to the washer/dryer. Tho it is
impossible to do laundry in there. The garage door out front won't open
because it is packed tight. I told grandma that "one day, I'm gonna
clean out that garage so we have a place to put things that belong in the
garage." This was several years ago. I have decided that this is the
summer. She "says" she's fine with it. But I don't believe that that will
be the situation. 

I need to know what to do with grandma the day I
"open" the garage door and start putting things into the dumpster that
I'm going to rent. Should I send her off shopping with my wife? Send her
to Atlanta to visit her sister? She's 86 and gets around just fine. If
I don't put a lock on the dumpster door, she will get up at 3am and
start digging stuff back out. (She digs into the kitchen trash now to get
"useful things" like soda bottles and tv dinner trays.) We have a bad
bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad rat and mouse problem as well. My wife
refuses to see the problem and says " we can clean it all up when she
dies". Well, I can't take another friggin day of it. I've had enough.

I've started to become verbally abusive to both of them and that's just
not me! I wasn't raised that way. Someone please help me. I stay up at
night crying about what it's doing to my marriage and my character. I'm
42! Why is this happening to me?
