Thanks @Owlunar I'm sorry to hear that you've had to live with that hoarding behaviour too.

I grew up in it. My childhood house was unlivable (& caused us physical injuries), because of the hoarding.

It's taken me decades to try to come to terms with that behaviour - even though I haven't lived with them for almost 30 years.

The compulsive belief that "We can't throw this (or anything) out, because it might be useful someday" - even though there is no room to move (in the house), & nowhere to put it...
