Growing Up Stories: Story from adult child-always about the "stuff" 
Growing Up COH and Adult COH Experiences

All I can ever remember is stuff. People can;t
come in because the stuff. Dont touch the stuff, you might loose the
right stuff trying to get through the wrong stuff. Sorry the
grandchildren cant come in, I have to sort this stuff. NO I can not live with you
while I recover from my surgery, I have to be with the dog, I need my
stuff...

Relationship : adult child
Source : just googled
Message : I am so glad to find this . I guess I just need to say this
at long last.
Some one asked me the other day, in reference to my elderly mom, what
do you want for her?
I replied, just a clean safe environment, her needs to be met and some
comfort.


I just can't seem to explain to others what this is like. Maybe you all
can help me define it. When reading about hoarding, the issue of
animal hoarding is usually mentioned. My mom and sister have had a dog for
five years who has never urinated outside the home. Just one dog. I have
read hoarding requires more animals to meet that criteria.  The dog is
ok, but has not been to the vet more than once, has never been spayed
and they dont seem to have any awareness of the need for it to not
saturate their living environment with urine.
Then there is the stuff.

All I can ever remember is stuff. People can;t
come in because the stuff. Dont touch the stuff, you might loose the
right stuff trying to get through the wrong stuff. Sorry the
grandchildren cant come in, I have to sort this stuff. NO I can not live with you
while I recover from my surgery, I have to be with the dog, I need my
stuff.
