Establishing Hoarder’s Borders

Mom: “You shouldn’t rot in your own filth.”

Me: “I can’t motivate myself to clean my room. I keep trying to.”

Mom: “I’ll be happy to do it for you if you let me.”

Me: “Only if you let me play hoarder victim and ensure you don’t throw my stuff out.”

Mom: “We’ll prop you in a chair and you can lovingly stroke your trash before I toss it.”
