I've recently tried to become an expert on hoarding, since my mom apparently has become one. It was really interesting to find out that natural disasters can lead to people becoming hoarders, and I think that's what happened to her with the last hurricane.
Aren't you concerned about her health?
Absolutely, especially because hoarders can make their homes into fire hazards what with all the blocked exists. This is not to mention the vermin infestations, or the waste from the animals she's collecting.. I'm worried about the common problem of stacks of things possibly falling onto her, as well.
