My father is a hoarder. I had to help him, my mother and my 14 year old sister move this summer. It was one of the most emotionally challenging times of my life. One night my mom and I had to sneak my sister out in the middle of the night because my dad had a mental breakdown and couldn't handle us even touching his things. We left that night expecting him to hurt himself out of emotional distress.

Because of this situation, I tend to throw away things that I may still need simply because I don't want to end up like him.

Good thing I am drunk, I'd never admit this sober.
