Quote From: adonnaFor those of you who know a hoarder, love a hoarder, live with a hoarder, ARE a hoarder...there are great support groups available to you. You'll have to Google these as I don't have the addresses committed to memory:  
For hoarders: Messies Anonymous (they have links to great support message boards at their site), Squalor Survivors, Reclaiming Dignity 
 
For Friends and Family: Yahoo Group "Friends of Hoarders", Reclaiming Dignity 
 
For Children of : Yahoo Group "Children of Hoarders", www.childrenofhoarders.com (NOT for hoarders), Reclaiming Dignity. 
If you go to any of those places there are links upon links of support, education, the list is endless really of resources.  
 
I used to search madly for these places that would understand, hopefully this will help someone else not have to do the legwork.  
Thank you so much. Have you had someone in the family with a hording disorder and the resources helped you?
