Someone posted photos of their home online recently, asking whether it qualified as a hoarder’s house. They’re 21. They grew up there. Their grandmother had dementia and was on oxygen for years, fighting with their mum through the nights. Caretakers came and went. Depression set in. The house accumulated. And now they’re the one left holding it.

Reading through the thread, I noticed a lot of people debating the label. Is it a hoard or just clutter? Level one or level two? The garage photos apparently settled the argument for most people.
