I'm watching the A&E marathon. To further confirm that hoarding tends to be rooted in other issues:
1. The firefighter who was talking to his mother and sister as though he was fighting a fire: "put that down and look at me...." Who in the hell does he think he is talking to? Issues.
2. Another episode: The man who adopted a boy and a girl. He is white and the kids are Black. The boy has some SERIOUS ISSUES. Initially I was like "Badass Black Babies...next on Oprah" but that boy needs some serious counseling. Biting, hitting, blowing his nose on people...I just wonder how long this has been going on. He is 8 years old going on 9. They have had a counselor for 6 months and I am glad because a lot of Black families would've just kept beating the hell out of him, among other things.
The man's friend (a Black man who the kids consider their uncle) was absolutely correct that they better stop this now or he will probably become a juvenile delinquent and eventually an adult offender.
