My home is piled up everywhere with one of my sister's possessions.
My sister doesn't live with me.
She has her own cluttered home.
My sister is a major hoarder.
She has my entire garage, dining room, living room, etc., stuffed with her possessions. I couldn't even put my own things in those rooms even if I wanted. She even has boxes piled in my bathtub. There are boxes of things and items everywhere, even in my closets and cupboards. There is even stuff of hers filing an entire shed in my backyard, and more items in the yard.
Most of my possessions are in storage.
My sister always says she will come get her stuff.
But she never does.
Every day is another excuse.
The months of promises continue.
I lately have been so stressed I literally from high blood pressure blew out some blood vessels in my eyeballs.
My left eyeball is all red.
People say my bright red eyeball looks like the red eyeball in the movie "Terminator."
I think a normal person would have been dead by now from a heart attack or stroke.
I am selling my home.
I can't live this any longer.
I was homeless for close to eight years.
Homelessness is better than what I am presently living.
At least being homeless I won't be paying my money out each month to store my sister's property.

you're suffering because you failed to set healthy boundaries. you allowed your sister's illness into your space. of course she doesn't keep her promises to fix this; she's mentally ill. your space is your responsibility and so is setting healthy boundaries. don't move. provide her with written notice of the date you will be evicting her belongings and inform her 5hat they must all be removed prior to that date or you will donate all to charity.
ReplyI think you need to get harsh as hard as it is. Tell her a set date you want it gone by or take it all to charity or the dump. Your sister sounds like she needs professional help. Unfortunately hoarders, just like any other mental condition or addiction will only get help when they're ready. I wish I had a positive story or outcome to share but the two extreme hoarders I know have been like it for years with no show of changing. Regardless though this is your sisters issue and she should not be using your home to hoard her belongings. Your home should be a place you can relax and unwind in. Enough is enough, you need to put yourself first or your health will get worse too.
