Meryl downplays her issues by acting all happy and cute and funny. Like the hoard is just a silly quirk. No clue how she is ruining her marriage and family. Laughs at the people who want to help. Refuses to accept her mother is gone. She became a teenager and just got stuck there.

Someone I loved with every fiber of my being moved in with me a dozen years ago. Slowly, I watched as his "designated room" (dining room) started to ooze past the doorframes. We had a deal. If it was on MY side of the doorframe, it got tossed. Eventually, he was asked to leave. It took me three days to clean out that room, and he never came back to finish it, so I took it over to HIS house and dumped it on his yard. Never looked back. I watch these videos to remind me of what COULD HAVE HAPPENED, but DIDN'T, because I took CONTROL of the situation. When I think I have one too many boxes of Christmas decorations, or a tub of clothing I don't wear, I start making trips to Goodwill. This....will NEVER be ME. Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt and donated it!

The sister-in-law is a pure sweetheart . And the hoarder at times looks at her with hatred . She has turned her self hatred and focused it towards the person who tried to help her most . What a despicable person !!!!!

My step dad was a hoarder, and my mother was messy. So when they got married when I was 8, I watched their house slowly turn into a hoard. I didn’t realize it was hoarding because they kept all of their things in labeled crates and insisted every one was important. If you needed something specific they knew where it was for the most part. But then my boyfriend comes over for the first time and is absolutely disgusted. Me and my siblings slept on the floor because our beds and bedrooms were filled TO THE CEILING with STUFFED ANIMALS. The bathroom was filled entirely every inch of floor with dirty laundry. The halls only had a small pathway to walk through, walls of boxes surrounding you. Windows blocked up with blankets tapped over them. The kitchen sink was always full the table was always full of trash so you couldn’t even sit down and eat together. Mice pooped on our clean dishes so you always had to rewatch them before using them... So crazy to live that way!!!! I now have a problem actually keeping stuff or buying nice things for myself or my kids because “it’s just stuff and it doesn’t actually matter” where really im just traumatized by how much stuff people own that they never use...

I can't believe her sister-in-law and Meryls' husband stuck with her after her charging more than a 100,000 dollars for stuff that's now not worth much and to borrow $15,000 to declutter her home but spent on other things.

i'd kill for a sister in law like her

The way she said “snuggly wuggly”💀😂

The sister-in-law is a darling. Unfortunately giving her 15K and not expecting her to spend it on stuff is equivalent to lending a gambler money and not expect them to spend it on that one last bet. In hindsight she should have dealt directly with the declutter business herself.

I helped a hoarder over and over again. He wasn’t related to me except through his son who deserted me. His life was a wreck. None of his kids ever thanked me for taking care of their Dad. When he died, he was in a clean well cared for place and I held his hand. He’s buried at Arlington. He earned that. It was an honor to know him.

Best sister in law any one can have . She is amazing . Despite loosing her money , she really tried to help . She is a great human being

15k? 15k? That's absolutely INSANE. I could pay off almost all my student loans for that. To think someone was generous enough to loan her that money and they just squandered it away... some people I just have no words for.

We had to sell our house because of the divorce. There were tons of my ex-husbands stuff in the attic. He was in denial that this needed to be gone to sell the house. It cost about 2,000 dollars to get it all out of there and gone. Thankfully, my real estate agent handled this mess and forced him to pay half the bill. Plus, the house needed renovations badly. Again, my real estate agent was a hero and fixed this mess (though he didn't upgrade much) in order to finally sell this house. I'm so glad to have the whole mess off my hands.

I agree. I don't know how she can even live with herself. Hoarding is one thing but she was using it to buy herself stuff that she doesn't need, which keeps adding to everyone's problem. That turns out to be theft in the end. She was willing to lose all contact with her brother and make her husband ill. She is extremely lucky to have all those good ppl around her.

They never seem to suggest that people take pictures of the things to have the visual memory.

What a wonderful sister in law. She is so sincere and caring and truly loves her family. 💗

This show proves time and time again how easily one can become overwhelmed. It's essential to take heed to the warning signs early on and not enable people who need physical and emotional help.

Arrested development. Has the stubbornness and selfishness of a 4 year old. At some point she should have matured enough to admit she was wrong to buy all that stuff and sell it on EBay. Before it became an absolute disaster zone. I know it because I was like her, I bought tons of clothes every day when I was in extreme pain from fibromyalgia. I admitted my mistakes to myself, sold clothes online and in 3 months I made $1,000. That $ went into a down payment for me to buy my own house.

“I need $15,000, can you at least gimme that?” … At LEAST?? AT LEAST??!! Holy GOD, that’s a sizable chunk of money for middle-class USA. I can see “at least” referring to a couple hundred bucks, not 15 GRAND!

I can't even begin to fathom of having $100,000 in credit card debt! I have about $7,500 in student loans left to pay and I'm worried sick about getting it paid! I couldn't even begin to know how she handles that stress! Wow!

@steppy3736

I think it's a chicken and egg situation; it's cyclical. Their health is bad, so their lives are limited, so they keep more stuff sometimes to fill the void that is there from not being able to do what they used to. Sometimes their physical challenges prevent them from disposing of things and cleaning things. At the same time, the hoard contributes to their poor health. They are breathing in tons of dust and debris, they can't move around, which contributes to their poor mobility.

Embracing minimalism, these after pictures look like my house before minimalism, I keep one sentimental piece, my favorite, and let go of the rest. It is so freeing and makes that one piece so special.

Take beautiful photographs of her mother's things. Keep a few. Make a treasured album with the photos. It's often the sight of the thing that triggers the wash of memories, not the thing itself.

The sister-in-law is very kind & cautious. She's been burnt but is really trying to help Meryl have a better life.
