Quote From: mystyrayneI know someone who is might be a hoarder. Her house is a rundown shack, broken windows, blankets and sheets stuffed in the windows, sheets for curtains, windows are filthy. yard is overgrown, toys all over. Inside is filthy. Not just dirty. FILTHY. bags of garbage not taken out, dirty dishes EVERYWHERE. Including food left on dishes. She is the sister of my best friend. Best friend tells me, "You dont' know my sister, she's just lazy" I'm sorry, but as lazy as my boyfriend is, even HE isnt' that far gone. This woman is obviously mentally incapable of keeping the house clean and not throwing anything out. I beleive she suffers very bad from depression, but my Best friend still thinks she is just lazy. If that's lazy, I'd hate to see what depression looks like. She's got 2 kids, they're 15 and maybe 12 or 11. (boy and girl respectively) I feel for them. They must not ever bring anyone over their house. :( I bet they both move out when they turn 18, just like everyone else in the rest of the family did in generations before. (some even 17 and 16, just to get away from the horrible family conditions...my Best friend included)
Dear Mystyrayne -
Good for you for recognizing that your friend's sister suffers from depression not laziness. She needs understanding, not criticism. Sounds as if maybe you could be the person to reach out to her and let her know there is hope. She probably feels quite alone.
