I can't imagine having 14 kids, but I do know what it's like to lose a child. It's been more than 30 years and I remember every detail of the weekend my baby girl died. Life goes on, and I've been tremendously blessed in every way. But there was never anything, and never will be anything, to fill her space in my heart.
I love the shorter, edited versions of the episode. It gets to the gist of it and I get to see the before and after quicker which inspires my cleaning.
Nice to see family HELPING instead of criticizing and wanting to put someone in a home. Good for them. She needs aftercare, of course. I feel hopeful about her.
The full episode has the criticisms and family bickering. The mom caused Sarah to have dissociative personality disorder and they also claimed abuse by her. One of the sadder episodes when watched in it’s entirety
@Sevan 405 Losing a child is not less difficult despite having other children .And you never truly get past losing your child .As the mother of four & losing one , I do know these things personally .
You never quite get over the child you lost. You heal some and move on and are so grateful for the ones you have but that sense of loss is never really filled. I know this first hand.
Aaaand there I go, cleaning the bathroom right now instead of tomorrow. It‘s the same as „My 600lb life“ making me work out again. A little TH-cam-Motivation often does the trick 😉
I do that,when I come home and my daughter wd be cleaning her room, it wd motivate me to jump in and start my own project, but unlike these videos , our house was clean , maybe the floor needed a mop or a curtain needed it’s annual washing, but to anyone coming in,it was always presentable, maybe had to quickly make a bed type thing, so thankful I keep things nice
Hoarding is such a complicated condition and definitely a mental health one. Trauma, bereavement, grief etc can all lead to it and recovering takes time and effort. I myself had an issue after losing both parents and grandparents suddenly. It’s taken years to come to terms with and it’s only recently I feel change in myself. I no longer hoard and want to make my home a happy one again. Please don’t judge those who do hoard especially if you don’t know the root cause of why they do it.
🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ she goes from her house, down the stairs, to an apartment to use the microwave, than down a couple of steps to go to eat her noodles... you know all the work,. energy and risks she is taking... So yeah... COOKING IS INTERESTING
I just want to see one episode of hoarders that doesn’t have trash everywhere. Sad that every single person has experienced a tragedy. So sad. Thank God there are programs like this that help. We need more follow up episodes!!! 🥰🥰🥰
I would hope that a property management company would be handling the rentals. She would be a terrible landlord for tenants to have to deal with directly.
Trauma seems to trigger so much. Grief without help is just tragic. I wonder why her children didn't intervene sooner. Once the anger is there, will making mom any madder and end up with this?
I can't imagine what it's like to lose a child .. I have 1son who when he reliazed I was depressed and started hoarding came in to my home and cleaned even if I didn't want it 🤗
I really like this mental health professional. I think some of the others on the series are too passive with the hoarders. He pushes them into making positive decisions for themselves
It's Dorothy who I don't think has the right attitude towards the hoarder. She's just a bully. The other professional organiser Standolynn(?) is much more suitable for these situation.
@@wilmaknickersfit I don't think Dorothy is a bully at all, most of the time she's too passive. All I know is I would be grateful to get rid of stuff, but I I would need help to keep it clean.
Robin can be that way too. In most of her episodes she has her forehead all crinkled up with sympathy as the hoarder boo hoos about losing their stuff.
It’s odd tbh how you all think you know more than the trained professionals with decades of experience who say just being pushy isn’t the only or best way.
In previous hoarding clips, I;ve been pretty unforgiving of the family that "loves" the hoarder because they should have stepped in more. But here I really feel the general frustration and dysfunction. Its funny how Kathy brushes her teeth and so can keep them clean but it's clutter and not letting go that sums it up. She is not a dirty person but a person who needs control back in her life. God bless them.
Kathy couldn't see how she had nine awesome kids, omg! I would love to have daughters like hers, because she lost her third oldest Son, she just shut down. Glad they helped her
Ive had some hoarding issues tho not to this extent. I catch myself and clear it out plus I am very particular about cleanliness and won’t tolerate filth. I’ve recently cleared out excess in fact. I couldn’t imagine letting it get to the point of the situations in these episodes and putting a situation like this on my kids. Very heartening episode tho. God bless them all.
She was abusive to them:/ ..I raised 4 amazing kids completely by myself from newborn & to now. My oldest is 22. I didn't have a lot of patience back then but I did what I had to do 💝
Mormons without a doubt and it isn't always in the best interest to keep having babies after having several when the mother is above a certain age. I have seen the harms from this. No judgement though they seem lovely
Awe Kathy, how wonderful to have your home nice and clean. What beautiful spaces to rent out and maybe rent out your dance studio. To make some money for yourself and finally relax and retire. Enjoy your life ❤ How blessed 🙏 to have a big , loving family to support you.
I'M PROUD OF YOU, KATHY :) I know that was hard to do and you should be so proud of yourself!! You are blessed to have the support of your family. I wish you happiness and continued mental health! God bless :)
Whenever this series talks about renting or selling these houses and apartments they have cleaned, it makes me wonder just how many places I have been in that have a coat of paint covering a wall of mold, or at some point had a dead rat in the fridge I am currently using. Every time I move I go over all surfaces in a new place with bleach, but I know some porous surfaces still have gross things lurking.
I'm a psychologist and Dr. Tolin is the only psychologist on Hoarders who actually addresses the hoarding disorder with the hoarder. The others just are weak and never educate about the disorder itself.
Respectfully disagree- I think he's very sensationalist and aims to make a "show" of it for A&E. I don't think he truly has the hoarder's best interest in heart.
The children could have helped her along the years. They just left her like that. My mom is also a hoarder after loosing her 2 child, as the last remaining sibling, when I visit her I throw away trash that she accumulates. She never finds out about it because she doesn't remember it was there.
My step-mom is the same way, it got worse after her mom died. Whenever I am in there to drop off food, I take out the plastic food containers she hordes and she never notices.
@@Liitebulb I had a pretty bad childhood myself. Over the years I learned compassion, and forgiveness, specially for those who have wronged us. Maybe for some it is hard to overlook, but having compassion is the key.
Do you want your children to judge you? Do you want to know you’ve let them down? Wouldn’t you rather have a neutral voice for all of you to release pressure? Someone to take a position without blaming? Be real.
Her children chucked all the things but I don't think she really felt why she was in danger and how to work with this desire to keep things (because I am sure she still has it). They did great together, but hoarders really need psychological help too.
I love seeing the transformation, who gets involved, how the transformation is achieved (not f***ing easy) and especially the love that accompanies that transformation. Well done Kathie, you're amazing. ❤🧡💛💛ex~hoarder me. Recovery is so much better. I'm not fully recovered either.
I think there is something really wrong with the mind of an extreme hoarder. The house will be full of bacteria, germs, insects and dirt if you live like this even for a week. I hope they will always be given help.
The team never seems to say, “you can keep this OR that”, or, “you have 10 of these, how many can you let go”, or, “let’s take a picture of this, and let the thing go”. Always seems to be all or nothing, and a lot of pressure. Not letting the person learn, to be able to do it on their own.
Agreed. I spend a lot of time wondering why photo albums of removed items never feature. Things like that are important tools the hoarder can use for the rest of their lives. Also, the legitimate collections rarely get any attention. One hoarder loved decorative butterflies, and had them all over, from lawn ornaments to fridge magnets. They weren't anywhere close to being the bulk or core of the hoard, but I didn't see a single butterfly in the "after" shots. They even bought her a new, boldly printed comforter, but not a butterfly pattern. Floral. I can bet she went nuts buying new butterfly items as soon as the cameras left. Respecting the tastes of the person and leaving them something of their favorite things (say half the fridge magnet butterflies) teaches them to set limits for themselves, and discourages immediate re-hoarding of loved items.
Omg, she is hoarding children as well... Respect for all of them being so supportive and the woman wanting to make the change, but there is something so weird about how they call themselves 11th or 8th child...
Well done. I hope she can keep it like that and let out the apartments and dance studio and have time to work part time rather than part time if she wants that and look after herself. I have found taking a photograph eg of my children's toys before throwing them away helped as I can look at them through the photo
This lady can go from apartment to another to make food, go to another to eat, etc...yet has to sit while everyone else is working? This happens in so many of these cases. I also hate when the hoarder finally lets go of the furball or whatever an everyone claps and says “good job” like the person is a 5 year old.
She showed almost no resistance to throwing things out and having things cleaned. So, why didn't all those children step in much earlier ? It's not like she's one of those impossible hoarders to deal with.
If I'm understanding correctly, the family & crew ONLY cleared the rentable areas and did not even touch her personal living area, which is the entire upstairs.
@@maremiy9007 ma’am , every woman is NOT pregnant for 10 months. there’s this thing called early delivery so she could’ve had some of her kids prematurely . so i’m not understanding your comment.
God bless this lady, Kathy. Hoarding Disorder is a real thing. Its a devastating way to live. The people from the 'Hoarder' tv show, charge $7,000-$10,000. a day, plus the profitfrom thier shows. So, please, dont think that its a selfless act, on thier part. There's many people that would love help, but nobody wants to help!
By making a general statement like this you are enabling abuse. Their mother was physically and mentally abusive. People are not obligated to help their parents, especially when they were abusive. Don't be so quick to judge if you don't know the full story.
Stay up to date on all of A&E's premieres at aetv.com/schedule.
When I feel lazy to clean I use hoarders as motivation 🤣 I watch one episode and then get moving
It does wonders for my motivation!!!!
@@evegrinstead2893 ☝️YUP
Lollll
Me too😂
I’m always so impressed by the people who help with these homes. Very selfless.
I wish I could volunteer to help out. I'd do it in a heartbeat.
I would help to. Deffinetlly.
You don’t have the mental illness and are blessed as such. Hoarding (OCD Disorders) is such a damaging and brutal way of life.
Dorothy is pure gold.

Yep!!!! Me too!
"Thank u for not throwing up yet!"
I loved that
Dorothy is one of my favorite people on this show. Her and Matt always create the much needed comic relief, they have the best dry sense of humor.
Nice to see family HELPING instead of criticizing and wanting to put someone in a home. Good for them. She needs aftercare, of course. I feel hopeful about her.
The full episode has the criticisms and family bickering. The mom caused Sarah to have dissociative personality disorder and they also claimed abuse by her. One of the sadder episodes when watched in it’s entirety
They only showed what they wanted you to see.This is an episode that stayed with me. I was abused & neglected. I admire her kids strength ♡
And the father, the other half of this sad situation is where? No accountability for him, I guess.
Some of these people are severely mentally ill and need to be put in a home for their own protection.
Losing a child even when you have other children will not be any less difficult. It's hard to move passed losing your child...

Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Pastor Murray is an Anointed Servant of GOD who teaches the Word of GOD with Authority!!!!!!!
Same!!!
@S JLA I do the EXACT same thing!!! I scrub my house every day after watching these!!!
So tragic. Depression takes over- her house, her personal appearance- even the way she walks just oozes sadness.
And ill health.
Vero
So true! Depression is another silent killer and not sure why her family is acting they way they are
She probably also feels bad about abusing her kids when they was younger too!
Watching these episodes makes me so thankful for the average but clean apartment I live in.
@Eren Cox What’s your point? I hope you make sure your children live in a clean environment and have good example to follow in their adult lives.
Here I am going crazy when there are three dirty dishes in the sink 🤷🏾♀
Good for you 👍
DO YOU have ocd / hoarding disorder? That's the theme here. It's a real psychological illness .
So, life is hard to take? 14 kids?, unless you're a superwoman, you dug the grave too early?? tic
SAME here!!!!

Well put! Proud of you!
How are you doing today!?
How much would u say grieving & crying out the pain, helps? Or what else?
How many years of residual income has she lost!
It's not even about the money, how many years she lost living like that and also unecessary time on working..
It's nice how everyone came out to support her instead of criticizing. Now let me get off youtube and see if I have anything that needs cleaning.
“Cooking is really interesting” Proceeds to grab instant noodles and put them in the microwave 😂😂😂
No place to cook for the moment

This poor woman is far from healthy on any scale, so it’s stands to reason that her food choices won’t be either. Sad and nothing to laugh about. 😢
🤣🤣🤣🤣
and she eats cup noodles with a spoon?! tf who does that
I just want to see one episode of hoarders that doesn’t have trash everywhere. Sad that every single person has experienced a tragedy. So sad. Thank God there are programs like this that help. We need more follow up episodes!!! 🥰🥰🥰
i think there was actually an episode like that! where he would put everything in big giant trash bags, but didn’t have trash everywhere
A tragedy is usually what triggers it.
Yes. I'd like to revisit some of these homes after a few years. I hope they are all doing better than before.
@@alisonlee3314 If you look at the some of the people they revisit, many have hoarded worse than before, and worse, they absolutely DO NOT CARE.
There’s one with a bunch of teddy bears lol
I wish the show would spend more time on the after results. Like actually give us a walk through room by room slowly. This is why we watch 🥺
I would hope that a property management company would be handling the rentals. She would be a terrible landlord for tenants to have to deal with directly.
i agree she cant handle herself. had all those kids and none of them dealt with the mess til now when out of control
MegaMermaidgirl you must be new to either hoarders or to assuming that someone can be forced to throw away things that doesn’t belong to them!
@@sarcasticallyrearranged your tag fits you
They found the rest of the kids under the hoard!

Trauma seems to trigger so much. Grief without help is just tragic. I wonder why her children didn't intervene sooner. Once the anger is there, will making mom any madder and end up with this?
They lost a brother. Their own pain is difficult and knowing hers too. If you haven’t been there you should be grateful you have no idea.

I do the same
So many of the hoarders have lost children, it's so tragic
Imagine having so many siblings you go by numbers.
I have 14 siblings (There are 15 of us, I am the 9th) but we never go by numbers. Lol lol
There are 4 girls in my family and my mom calls us daughter 1 2 ,etc
I’m number 6

Watched a bunch of episodes yesterday and my house is cleaner today than it’s been in years! Need to clean? Watch a couple of these!!
I watch this while I literally have a mental break down if I don’t clean for 2 days.
Strangely, that's the other side of the same coin. Both hoarding and extreme cleanliness are obsessive-compulsive disorders.
The children could have helped her along the years. They just left her like that. My mom is also a hoarder after loosing her 2 child, as the last remaining sibling, when I visit her I throw away trash that she accumulates. She never finds out about it because she doesn't remember it was there.
I can clean up the house
My step-mom is the same way, it got worse after her mom died. Whenever I am in there to drop off food, I take out the plastic food containers she hordes and she never notices.
You know nothing about their family dynamics. Many parents aren't good people just because they're sick
She shouldn't have abused them by Making them live this way.
@@Liitebulb I had a pretty bad childhood myself. Over the years I learned compassion, and forgiveness, specially for those who have wronged us. Maybe for some it is hard to overlook, but having compassion is the key.
When ever I feel to tired to clean my home I watch a few episodes of Hoarders and it motivates me to clean Everytime!
I'm still too tired after watching though.....
Usually the hoarder won’t allow the family to touch their stuff. But get a stranger and it’s a different matter 🤨
Do you want your children to judge you? Do you want to know you’ve let them down? Wouldn’t you rather have a neutral voice for all of you to release pressure? Someone to take a position without blaming? Be real.
This was a great episode watch the whole thing
S JLA just do a search for either the series or the specific episode.
That was a awesome job, I pray God keeps her strong enough to continue and keep it clean
I’m praying for a good outcome 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

BEAUTIFUL!!💜💗
Her children chucked all the things but I don't think she really felt why she was in danger and how to work with this desire to keep things (because I am sure she still has it). They did great together, but hoarders really need psychological help too.
Dr. Tolin is not afraid to speak, I like that!
Im decluttering my home since I started watching your videos. I dont want to called mentally ill.

Ive not even watched it more than a minute, and Im thinking 14 children and not one of them can come and clean the bathroom for an afternoon?
It's quite likely she didn't want them to.
Maybe it's just me but I would not want to rent an apartment under a hoarder
oh heck no
hey...to the film crew, and the editors ,...just wanted to say , your work is excellent, think you all should know that if this note finds its way.
That was a beautiful story! I love that family
A hoarder will not accept help from family members. If she terrorsed them when they were younger, nobody is going to tackle this problem.
Why oh why am I SO addicted to these videos... sigh ...
I think there is something really wrong with the mind of an extreme hoarder. The house will be full of bacteria, germs, insects and dirt if you live like this even for a week. I hope they will always be given help.
OMG 14 kids? This lady deserves a medal

5:24 "thank you for not throwing up yet" kinda killed me
This episode kinda hits close to home because we’re 14 siblings in the family and I can’t imagine my mother being in this condition
wow, 14 children!!!!
Everything she has is way above average in numbers.
This is so sad. God bless her. I pray she gets better.
Why asking television to clean and film this????
10 kids alives and NO ONE is able to clean their Mum's house?????????
That's a shame!!!!
It's more than just cleaning her house, she clearly has mental issues. And as if she would let them!!!!
This was a sweet episode, thank you for sharing it.
Her microwave was surprisingly clean
She started hoarding early....connecting children 😂😂😂😂
Omg, she is hoarding children as well... Respect for all of them being so supportive and the woman wanting to make the change, but there is something so weird about how they call themselves 11th or 8th child...
WOW You guys have done the MOST AMAZING WORK cleaning up this 🏠
YOU GUYS ARE THE BOMB 💥
Aww. She reminds me of the lady on home alone who feeds the pigeons at the park❤😊
Why does every hoarder live in prime real estate,
like this woman has 2 rentable apartments a dance studio and her living area
They absolutely do not all live in prime real estate. I think they choose these more often to film because the reveal makes more impressive viewing.
The doctor on this episode is the best of the bunch, in my opinion.
I’m pregnant with my first child & I honestly don’t see how she did it 13 more 😂😂😂😂
Dorothy is so kind.
You know the show 8 is enough well 14 is a tripled dose of blessings.❤
But wait.. 8×3=24 😳
@@RainbowFlowerCrowExactly what I was going to say!
The final clean-up would be so satisfying!
Well done. I hope she can keep it like that and let out the apartments and dance studio and have time to work part time rather than part time if she wants that and look after herself. I have found taking a photograph eg of my children's toys before throwing them away helped as I can look at them through the photo
Old age makes people very stubborn and illness makes it worst
I saw this before she was not nice to her kids an her kids loved her so much
Dorothy is so great! Wish I could hire her.
This lady can go from apartment to another to make food, go to another to eat, etc...yet has to sit while everyone else is working? This happens in so many of these cases. I also hate when the hoarder finally lets go of the furball or whatever an everyone claps and says “good job” like the person is a 5 year old.
My heart breaks for her.
She showed almost no resistance to throwing things out and having things cleaned. So, why didn't all those children step in much earlier ? It's not like she's one of those impossible hoarders to deal with.
If I'm understanding correctly, the family & crew ONLY cleared the rentable areas and did not even touch her personal living area, which is the entire upstairs.
14 children?!?! So she was pregnant for over 20 years!!!! NO Ma’am
Huh? 14 kids mean 10.5 years of Pregnancy not 20 still a lot though.
she’s been pregnant a total of 10 & a half years but there’s no telling how far apart the kids are in age. hopefully she took breaks in between
Destiny Cabryle’ women are pregnant 10 months and 6months for body to adjust hormone levels????? She was pregnant a really long long time
@@maremiy9007 ma’am , every woman is NOT pregnant for 10 months. there’s this thing called early delivery so she could’ve had some of her kids prematurely . so i’m not understanding your comment.
@@maremiy9007 a pregnancy is 9 months, not 10 months and yes, babies can be born premature or stay in the womb longer than 9 months
God bless this lady, Kathy. Hoarding Disorder is a real thing. Its a devastating way to live. The people from the 'Hoarder' tv show, charge $7,000-$10,000. a day, plus the profitfrom thier shows. So, please, dont think that its a selfless act, on thier part. There's many people that would love help, but nobody wants to help!
I'm sorry, but with at least 9 of the 13 kids knowing her issues, why did it have to take a professional to tell them what needed to be done?
Thank you for sharing this video.
Those children shouldn't need someone to come in and tell them to help! Should have been done years ago.
By making a general statement like this you are enabling abuse. Their mother was physically and mentally abusive. People are not obligated to help their parents, especially when they were abusive. Don't be so quick to judge if you don't know the full story.
Some people don't let themselves be helped. Very sad. It's a lot going in a soul that no one knows. March 2021
