Woman Accused Of Being A Hoarder Says Collecting Stuff Is ‘Easier’ Than Having Relationships With Others
Kristen says that when she doesn’t get love and support from others, she goes shopping at thrift stores. She says this has led her to buy hundreds of thousands of dollars of things that now fill her house and a new house she recently bought. Kristen says now, her newfound obsession is buying unclaimed storage containers.
“There are some really cool things that people have put in their storage unit, and I’m just keeping it,” Kristen says. Showing off a storage shed filled with lawnmowers, chairs, plastic flamingos and more, she adds, “I need this stuff because it gives me the illusion that I have the perfect house and home. It tells the neighbors that I have an exceptional life.”
Why does Kristen say she has a hard time parting with things? And, what may be driving her behavior? Check local listings to see where you can watch Thursday's episode.
