Thread: Anyone watching Dr. Phil today?

That was totally disgusting. I thought DH kept way too much stuff, but nothing even remotely like this. And to think that this is all the poor kids know! A really nice house and condo full of crap is unbelievable!

Does anyone remember the show that Oprah did a few months ago on a lady who was the same way? It had gotten to the point that her oldest son refused to bring his kids over to visit. When they took everything out, they found that she had mold in her basement which was causing her to have medical issues, mice had been eating the food she had stock piled,etc.

The guy from Clean Sweep - Peter Walsh finally got her to admit her behavior was because she had lost her sister and brother within 2 years and that she was trying to fill her life with things to replace them.

This is what was in her house:
