Review: Wow, not the ending I was expecting, but still very good - Wow! I started reading this because my mother has hoarding tendencies. My grandmother is a hoarder and I have helped empty 2 of her houses. I have a basement full of stuff that I need to pitch because I don't want to be a hoarder too. I was hoping this book would give me some insight or help, but it wasn't about that. It was about her dealing with her father the hoarder, coming to realize things about her father and her mother and her childhood. It was more of a reflection. I don't want to say I enjoyed the book, but I did a little. It hit close to home for me, which was a good thing, but was also a little stressful for me. Overall, a good read. Thought provoking and inspirational for me to be more like her and less like our hoarder parents.
Review: An honest look into dealing with a difficult family member - This is a well put together story of a daughter trying to respect her father's life and what her father needs while balancing her own sanity and life. ... This was an interesting read, from the perspective of parent as well as child. Reading brought up childhood memories of piles, though no where near as mountainous (only 2-3 ft in corners at times), still large none-the-less... I did have to take a break a couple times from reading because the inner stress it was churning up. Thank God for EFT tapping to get through and get rid of the rehashed anxiety/other emotions!!!!!!!!! While I have been accused of piling stuff up by my offspring (usually just handfuls of small stuff and extra books on shelves and papers on desks), it is no where near as bad as what I grew up with. In a way, this book has been a way to let go of negative stuff and heal via EFT tapping while reading. ... The other thing this book brought up for me was what I read between the lines about the father. He is a narcissist. A narcissist is absorbed with himself, discusses only himself, thinks only of himself, feels entitled to be served, nearly impossible to be pleased, twists all blame off self, can "clearly" never be in the wrong, and practically never apologize except perhaps to say they are sorry you are offended by the way they are. They are the only one qualified for "xyz". No one EVER "listens to them".... I know exactly how the daughter feels. This is something I have only in the last year been learning about. It is an extremely revealing topic and explains so much about certain people... and 99.99% of the time they can't be changed as it is a mental state. It is difficult to protect oneself from them. You either "kiss up" and please them as much as possible without "rocking the boat" or get blasted for not bowing to their dictates. Neither are healthy...so sometimes getting space away from them...some narcissist survivors call it a "no contact" policy... is the only way to preserve sanity. There are blogs and support groups for this situation as well. (See my comment below.) ... Anyone that thinks the daughter was disrespectful has never dealt with a narcissist. I did not see her as complaining...just venting facts that frustrated her, which I consider healthy. Relationships need to have mutual respect and common courtesy, with interest, understanding, and kindness flowing both ways to be healthy (all foreign concepts to narcissists).

### ⭐⭐⭐ I enjoyed reading this book in a much it shed light ...
*by M***E on June 21, 2016*

I enjoyed reading this book in as much as it shed light on the life of a Hoarder. I found it interesting in how the author described how her father reacted when she would approach him regarding getting rid of an item. I think all of us have a little "hoarder" in us. Keeping things that mean something to us yet nothing to someone else. My only problem with the book is the way it ended. It just dropped off and did not finish the story. But it is a pretty good read.
