"Animal Hoarding" 1 Day, 11 Hours ago Karma: 0  
Our experiences with hoarders began with the attempt to understand or rationalize their behaviors, and to answer our own questions and those affected by hoarders. We’ve come to the conclusion that hoarding is like a drug: the “addict” is unable to control their impulses or their need for their “drug”; they make excuses, often pleading and making manipulative promises and statements, trying to protect their lifestyle and justify their behavior.

Once we put it within this perspective we could better understand that the hoarder, not unlike a drug addict, needs psychological help, far beyond our capacity. They need professional intervention, counseling and follow-up care.

Thank you Haxton,

Hard to look at, but if we don't, then it is like burying our heads in the sand and then nothing will ever get changed.
