An Ultimatum for a Hoarding Mother: Her Kids or Her Clutter (12x158)

Udgivelsesdato: Maj 15, 2014

Chandra and her siblings, Charity, Perry and Preston, say their mother, Pamela’s, hoarding is so out of control that nearly every inch of her 9,000-square-foot home is filled with “junk.” The siblings say that growing up, Pamela would pick through their garbage to save items, which forced them to sneak trash out of the house. They say as they got older, her hoarding became progressively worse, prompting them to stage an intervention in 2012, which escalated to the point of police being called. Pamela says she feels her family unfairly “ganged up” on her and insists she’s not a hoarder — so, how does she explain the mess? Plus, Pamela’s husband, Richard, moved out of the house two years ago — he says because of the hoarding, but she says otherwise. Hear why Pamela claims Richard is equally to blame for the family’s problems. Can Dr. Phil help Pamela get rid of her clutter — and help this family get back on track?
