Mum's a hoarder, we've argued before over my throwing things away and she has fished them out of the trash to save them. She won't accept that she is; but her behaviour gives it away.

Threw out almost half of the rubbish on just one shelf, took two hours and has cleared up about a decade of anxiety and tension over this damned mess. And yes, this is literally just one shelf, just shy of two metres big.

She came home and was okay with it, suggested I throw away some of the circa 2005 computer / web user magazines she has 'kept because they have important information in'. Kind of shocked to be honest, we've had huge fallings out over this before.

Worried she has dementia. Found my Modofly Ultraray toy-laser-gun moleskine though!
