Meet pretty and lovely Sidney.
She and G have been a couple for 13 years. They share an awesome blog called My Mother-In-Law is Still Sitting Between Us.
In May 2010, G's mother passed away but he had not stepped foot into his childhood home for more than 18 years.
His parents left him a legacy of clutter and neglect that he now must handle. G has been planning for this for years, since he was his parents’ only child. We live 2 hours away from their home, so we are managing this project remotely and hands-on, jointly and independently, learning and SPENDING a lot as we go. We have great friends, family, and professionals supporting us, but we are not utilizing them as resources as much as we should.
Give them a visit and you too can help out with people in similar circumstances who have started Hoarding Hurts.

[making lunch: farfalle, peas, sauteed tomatoes, oregano, garlic]
"Feta?" [handing him a chuLnck]
"Sure."
[nom nom noming quietly]
"Phew! That is sharp! Or old... How old is that feta?"
"You tell me."
[just waiting, knowingly]
"Uh-oh. It's passed its date a little."
"And it is sharp."
"I don't know... Do we get rid of it?"
[just waiting, knowingly]
"What do you think?"
"I think it's just sharp."
"I don't know..."
[ceasing her lunch prep, taking and closing the feta container. Putting feta into trash.]
[removing from trash] "Wait!! No!! You can't DO that!"
[this cycle repeats three times]
"Hmm... Yep, it's bad."
[final trash deposit]
[after an hour of stewing, she loses her shit]
"I am upset with you."
"What? The feta was *bad.*"
"Yes. I gave you my opinion when asked. I heard the date. I made an evaluation. I threw it away. I did what you wanted."
"No! No, you didn't."
"Yes. I gave you my opinion when asked. I heard the date. I made an evaluation. I threw it away. I did what you wanted. Three effing times."
"No, you didn't *smell* it."
[just waiting, knowingly][realizing that he was not the only kooky one]
[thinking she was just upset that he was leaving, to return to his hoard]
[she went with Parmesan instead]
[end scene]
