Isn’t this a pretty picture? Some cacti are prickly, but they have their place. These are in my front yard. They have nothing to do with my hoarding adult daughter other than she’s also prickly.
Maybe that’s why she’s a hoarder. She forms emotional attachments to anything and everything rather than taking the time and energy to form healthy relationships with others. But, she’s an adult. It’s now up to her to figure things out…or not. ”Let her grow,” a friend of mine said. “Let the ‘balloon’ go,” another friend suggested. Let her go?
It especially upsets me because she accepts no responsibility for where she is now…..cluttered, unemployed, mostly friendless… except to acknowledge that she’s a hoarder, which is just another excuse for her.
This is one of the reasons I lose sleep. I know that it could be worse (what if she had children?), and there are worse things going on with people other than a hoarding, unemployed adult daughter. But this is my blog, and Gracie Says So! Did I mention she’s my only child, too? Good job, huh?

I agree, good luck
Generally speaking, we cannot “fix”our adult children and their problems. When we try and they don’t “do as we say”, then we become resentful and upset…lose sleep.
“Why won’t they just do what I suggest or recommend?”…we often say to ourselves. Actually, rarely do they finally “wake up” and perform how we feel they should.
They are adults now and trek down their own paths. We sit on the sidelines shelling out money, time and energy, only to be met with hostility. However, this is only after they have taken more bailout money.
Do we then need to change, because it’s apparent they have no plans to do so…
Hi I am a daughter of a hoarder. Have you ever been to http://www.childrenofhoarders.com? My story is actually on the home page. Under Tracy’s Story.
