Hoarders

Tim is extremely handy and loves to work on cars. Tim suffers from feelings of abandonment, and hoarding cars and car parts is his way to cope. Shortly after Tim and DeeDee married, they lost their first home in a tragic house fire. Once they moved into their new dream home, Tim’s hoarding began, and for years the stuff was initially contained at his shop and multiple storage units. A couple of years ago, while his wife was working out of town, he closed his shop and filled their entire home and a large part of their property with the junk from the shop. Tim intends to fix and sell the stuff, but he never does. Now, DeeDee refuses to return home to the mess, and they face the possibility of divorce if he doesn’t clean up his hoard.

Terri is a woman of very few words. When she does speak, she is sincere and prideful. She is now retired from her successful careers as both an EMI of 40+ years and a fire department EMT of 10 years. Working through many traumatic events throughout her life, Terri has done her best to overcome and persevere. The one thing that dramatically suffered in the process was her home. Regular visits to local estate sales, yard sales, and thrift stores distract Terri from her problems, as she cannot resist a good deal on glass decor or anything she considers antique. These antiques, extra furniture, and piles of clothes have now completely filled Terri’s 1,300-square-foot home.
