Debbie doesn't deserve to see her house empty because she didn't get rid of anything. And the fact that she said to her grandsons face that he was less important to her than her shoe collection breaks my heart. I'm upset that they finished this project for her, she didn't fix or change anything and the problem is still there.
YET! She went and high fives him with her hand when he was given an opportunity to speak during the first day of all of this- she should be on the street and she can go collecting with a cart and take it to her tent - she’s cRaZy literally
I would feel ashamed, if so many people would come to my house to clean up the mess that I'm responsible for! I can't shake the thought, that people like her, who are even upset about the cleanup or the way it has been done, are hopelessly lost and with them everybody who believes in them 😞
And at the end she didn't apologize to him, or care that the room for him didn't get cleaned up. She should have been so grateful he wanted to spend time with her. Then the ungrateful brat gets a marriage proposal.
She’s a very unstable lady. I am furious how she put on a convincing display of a emotionally fragile person, expressing desires to spend time with her grandson. Then she completely denied feeling that way the next day!
I hope her grandson is done wasting time on someone who has shown that he is not a priority to her. The look on his face was just heart breaking. She didn’t deserve his help and support. What a betrayal. 🥺
The poor grandson. I can definitely tell that he is upset and wanted a bedroom at his grandma's house. She just dismissed him like he was a piece of the hoard. She's quite crappy on top of it all. I'd pack up and leave her home
So she kept her hoard in storage units, got a clean area in her house and a working clean toilet, without putting in any efford, even got engaged and the one thing she decided to 'get rid' of, ends up being the chance to build a closer connection with her lovely grandson. Great job, Debbie.
wont be long till those storage units go up for auction....and some sucker is gonna find alot oof JUNK to go through thats not gonna be worth their time XD
Although I have had the A&E Crew at my house to help me get my house and my Life Back I’ve watched hundreds of the HOARDERS Shows I felt she was disrespectful and Mean to the People Trying to Help Her and I Hope that Tom does not get the same Treatment from Debbie...
@@paulrucker5971 I completely agree, Tom comes off as an amazing person that just wants love at his age. Despite the negative it comes with. Debbie comes off as being so tied up with herself that she has no time, concern or respect for anyone other than herself and her stuff. I think it’s really interesting hearing from someone that has had personal experience with A&E. Are they as kind and as gentle as the get portrayed in the show?
His mother should have stood up, and calmly said 'that is incredibly offensive to my son, and until you apologise we will no longer be participating in helping you.'
When these people are this old and pass away with a dumpster left behind, they leave it all for their family to clean up. It’s gross, selfish, and disgusting.
I’m not a hoarder, and I constantly declutter my house. The reason is exactly what you said. I don’t want our kids to have to deal with taking care of our things when my husband and I pass.
Your statement is so TRUE!!! 🎯 My family had to deal with cleaning up hoarders leftovers 3 times now! We were so overwhelmed and couldn't finish the job by ourselves. We had to give up, take the important things, and dump the rest! For one house, we had to rent a dumpster! It was THAT bad! I vowed to never do this to my family. When I leave this earth, I want it to be easy on them, not a burden. It overshadows the good memories.
I could totally see this woman putting all her stuff back from storage back into her house. Seems like this was a total waste of everyone's time. And I felt so bad for her grandson.
@@nanajoyce4594 I’ve seen British version. Hoarders there are given months to clean up. They have weeks of therapy and clean up by themselves. 4 days is not enough to change the hoarders mind They need to do it by themselves. Only then there’s a chance of healing
She is going to make Tom miserable. But like that song by The Eurythmics- some want to abuse you... some people want to be abused. I really need to both go to intense counseling. He need to know what he's getting into. Same as if they over used alcohols or drugs.
@@mrjfrostbite YES! I watched Hoarders and there was an episode where two brothers shared the same house. Both were hoarders. During the filming of it, one of the brothers died IN his hoard, and they continued with the filming , but extra sensistively for the living brother who had lost his bro just the night before.
She has such a precious grandson and yet goes out of her way to make sure he understands that he's not important to her. What a tremendous blow that must have been for him to hear that.
I was really sad how she disregarded her grandson. She basically said he wasn’t her priority because their closets were more important. How many people would just give everything to have a grandson like him.
She also had many boxes of new shoes she had never even worn and wasn't willing to give any of them away. She was getting thousands of dollars worth of free help yet wouldn't even help others. Her poor grandson. He looked so hurt. She never said another word to him. A good, loving kid like that is pure gold. A treasure. And she threw him away without a second thought. And she didn't solve a single one of her problems. Her hoard is now in storage boxes. She had someone die alone in a hoard and she is well on her way to doing that, too. This was one of the most distressing episodes I have ever watched. Very very sad all around.
Reminds be of a former coworker, complained about wanting more hours but didn’t want to stay past 2:00pm(store opened at 6:00am and she opened) and didn’t want to work weekends but still wanted these hours to magically come from somewhere.
I noticed that the grandson's demeanor, behavior and expression changed after that confrontation. His eyes lost the "smile" and I didn't hear him speak anymore (at least during whatever that's was aired).
His mother also failed him by not speaking up at the time. Had it been me, I would have calmly but firmly told her that was offensive, that I wanted an apology for my son, and taken him away from that situation to do something fun.
After she showed her rejection with hurting her grandsons desire to visit and have a room, she just lost me from there. You could see the pain and hurt in her grandsons eyes. Even towards the end, they don’t talk about it again; her making amends for her behavior in that one decision alone, and all while he’s there to help her have a better life! That’s horrible. Just breaks my heart for him.
i hate how they kept blatantly lying on the text cards. "with debbie making good progress at the sorting table" right after she flat-out refused to donate ANY shoes from her massive hoard. "with the storage problem solved" it wasn't solved, she just insisted on renting storage units she can't afford. there are people on this show who got in over their head and are willing to get rid of stuff and then there are people like debbie who just need to be put on a boat for 2 weeks while everyone else empties their house. they won't even notice 90% of the stuff is gone because they never use any of it.
Her grandson seems so loving and smart, can't believe she's not prioritizing a space for him, especially when he clearly wants to be part of her life. I hope he understands that she's not well, and that he's loved by other people in his life. So upsetting to hear her say that.
Moving her stuff into storage for her is the absolute worst thing they could do, bc now she'll have storage payments she can't afford AND she will definitely rehoard all of the space they cleared in her house. This was sickening. I hope the grandson is okay. Some people would be so grateful to have a grandchild who wants to spend time with them.
And I can almost bank on it that Tom will be picking up the tab for those storage payments, along with other things. Note how when he asked her to marry him she paused and said, 'Well, if you wanna drive,' which I took to mean 'deal with everything.' She even had stipulations on him!
Did anyone notice the tears in his eyes when she cruelly ejected doing the grandsons bedroom. I think that she is one of the worst cases of being so ill I have seen. Good Luck Tom I think you have taken on a lot I hope it works out for you all.
This was the first hoarder I've ever seen who was greedy. For most of them you constantly hear "this is for my grandson" or "someone can use this!" But Debbie is literally losing her mind over the prospect of anyone else having her stuff.
None of the bigger issues were solved here. She just got a free house clean out. Her hoarding problem was not addressed at all. Her grandsons room should have been the top of her list. So sad.
Was anyone else wanting Matt, or Cory there to give her a reality check about all that stuff?! What she said to her grandson about his room was unforgivable! And then to find out that the grandson was diagnosed with a brain tumor after this episode!!! She definitely needs a reality check on what’s really important!
So she gets a marriage proposal and the grandson gets totally shafted. By the end of the episode, they just completely forgot about the fact that she said her stuff was more important than him. His mom didn't step in and stand up for him, and the crew was just like We didn't get to the room meant for you Josh, oh well! He showed how much he cared and helped as much as he could and then got treated like that. Like wow... everyone failed this boy.
I would have taken my son and left her there. I am serious - this woman is clearly manipulative - as most commenters have recognised. She doesn’t deserve people helping her. Also, it is enabling and rewarding her behaviour. Awful.
Old friend of mine is a hoarder. It's a compulsion, and parting with her stuff is emotional; like going through a breakup. The idea of getting rid of her things, definitely makes her irrational and irritable.
She is most unpleasant. A controller and a drama queen. Her partner sees something, so she is lucky in that way. I could never say my grandchildren are not a priority in my life.
She is more overwhelmed that her stuff was gone than the real beauty of her home. That poor grandson, you don’t get over words like that when your young. That stuff not only stings to the core but that memory is forever engraved in his mind.
the child who first spoke for his grandmother was extremely mature with the situation and was very understanding of her safety and things that should be a healthy environment for her.
It's sad how sick this lady is and how easily she can choose her stuff over her family. She's got one foot out the door to homelessness yet she wants to rent more Storage Boxes??!! Wow.
I dont understand why a 68 year old woman still has a mortgage! She cant afford it, shes spending her money on things she throws on the floor. Now she has storage unit fees? Tom is nuts to hook up with her.
@@queenbee3647 she's been in the house for 37 years so she must have either refinanced or taken out a second mortgage or something at some point. my MIL had 10 years left on her mortgage then lost her job and had to refinance for another 30-year term. she'll be dead before she pays that house off, but she was too proud to sell and use the equity to move someplace cheaper.
He's probably thinking that once the hoarded stuff is gone that everything will go back to normal but he doesn't realize that she really is obsessed with accumulating stuff. I truly hope that things work out for them.
illnesses are treated with medical intervention, she chose to be like this. Tom is crazier than her. No wonder she has financial problems, she spends all her money hording.
My friend who is on a limited budget, sees things (unusual things of course) that she can't resist. I tell her : the world is filled with beautiful things but you don't have to own them.
Such a nice house. I'd be so grateful for a house like that, and she turns it into a dumpster. Not even grateful for all the help she received. Just made it difficult every step of the way. And worst of all she made it clear to her own grandson that he isn't a priority to her. Smdh. I understand that this is a sickness, but it's really hard to understand how anyone can be so selfish
I know!! I think about that every time I watch the show. People with endless amounts of money and a nice house that they've completely destroyed. I wonder how people from 3rd world countries would react if they saw this?
Ok Brandon is going to become a councelor or organizer himself in a few short years. What a wise young man he is. There are few hoarders more stubborn then this woman. Ugh
Someone in the comments here said he was diagnosed with a brain tumor right after the show. I don't know where to find that information but how horrific if it's true! 😥
What a horrible selfish woman. My heart broke for her sweet grandson, having to hear his grandma say he wasnt important enough to clean a room for him to come visit.She makes me sick.
Frankly, they did this woman no favors. They should have stuck to their principles and told her, “Nope. This isn’t what we contracted for. One of three things is gonna happen here - either we take this stuff away as planned (option one) or we take it back into the house and dump it back in your bedroom, living room, kitchen and wherever we can find room (option two). If you don’t do either of those and you don’t want your stuff put back into the house, then we’ll unload your stuff into your front lawn and you can make your own arrangements to deal with it (option three). What we are NOT going to do is unload this stuff into the lawn and then pay our people to transport and then load it into storage for you. That would be your choice at your expense. You have 5 minutes to decide. If you don’t have an answer after 5 minutes, the default will be Option three and we’ll start unloading the trucks onto your lawn.”
I've seen SOOOO many episodes where they have been asked to move things into storage and this is the first time I've ever seen were they have allowed this.
It's always this way: my life is awful, tears, I'll be homeless, remorse, my kids mean EVERYTHING to me...well, with exception to my STUFF...I'm not giving THAT away...yes, I'm keeping that- oh look how beautiful my place looks because everyone else did the work while I pouted about giving away trash.
In all of these I’ve been able to found compassion for these people. But this woman is insufferable. That poor grandson having his grandmother sit and throw a tantrum over her wanting her wardrobe done because her grandson isn’t a priority. Such entitled behaviour, this team came to help you lady because the state YOU let YOUR house get into. Get away with it lady
I’m just so sad for the grandson, poor kid. But he seems like a sweet smart & mature kid so I hope he’s surrounded by people who appreciate & truly loves him. I hope he’ll be ok.🥺
We have shows in Australia. The difference is everything is boxed and put into a hall on tables in order so the hoarder can see it all. The home is empty. Repaired, painted and re decorated over 3 days. Trucks take away donated goods, rubbish is removed and treasures are restored. The home owners usually keep 30 percent of their belongings.
I'm an Aussie too, and I reckon the 'take it all to a hall' is the best way too. I think some of these people get embarrassed about having their 'precious' stuff on their front yard and can't concentrate on the sorting & decisions process.
Yes yes yes. A few sh I ws in usa years ago took it all to sort in empty retail spaces, held garage sale there, cleaned & repaired house. Hoarders could see the mountains of whatever item and make better decisions vs on their own front lawn
@@laurahenuset5206 Space Invaders. With Peter Walsh on Channel 9 Australia. Maby you could Google Peter Walsh. He has been on Channel 10 The Living Room also.
I agree, her answer to that propsal was horrible, 'Well, um. if you want to drive'. And her declaration that her grandson's room wasn't a priority was horrible too.
Real sad that strangers on TH-cam care more about her grand son's feelings than she does. Quite a despicable character overall, at 68 it's too late for a wakeup call or change so imo she can stuff it
I really wished they got the young mans room done. After living in that he deserved that. I could see his disappointment 😕 I was disappointed for him 🥺
Me too! If you want to live like that THATS FINE BUT DONT SUBJECT YOUR GRANDSON TO LIVING LIKE THAT! THAT JUST SHOWS YOU THAT THIS WOMAN CARES ABOUT HER STUFF MORE THAN HER OWN GRANDSON! ITS JUST SAD!
After the grandson thing - I'd leave her in the dust and not look back. Mother or not. The way she said it too. NOTHING IN HERE IS IMPORTANT TO ME ! ( grandsons potential room) and I am NOT working in here (grandsons room) WHEW .. I'd be done - she wouldn't care anyway - for those who would maintain "she's your mother!" Believe me I know from experience when your close relatives including your parents say you aren't important to them - THEY MEAN IT . You just need to move on to not let them take your entire life away ..
She clearly has no desire to get rid of anything. I would like to see an episode/series of helping the same person over a course of 6 mo or so... so that a person like her (resistant to the process) can take the baby steps needed and move forward.
She’s lived in the house for 37 years, and she still has a mortgage? That’s pretty sad. Also, I have to say, that every single hoarder, every one, is WAY beyond selfish.
Now, she’s got costly storage rental fees, unless Hoarders is enabling her by paying her storage fees? I thought she doesn’t have enough funds to continue paying her mortgage?
They set her up to lose her home. Storage fees are such a scam, paying hundreds per month and the fees will quickly exceed the items value. They did this woman dirty imo.
She did bring it on herself. She said it's what she wanted all along. I bet they end up auctioning off her stuff. I hope she thinks about it and changes her mind. But she won't. 😢
Tom just signed up for a major catastrophic failure in the not so distant future. I’m almost certain those little u-storage boxes filled with a dozen pair of shoes will soon find their way inside this clean home. To that young fine grandson, please focus ur vibrant energy somewhere else, grandma don’t want you in her hoarding space.
How is the outside of the house actually quite gorgeous and well kept whilst the inside is an entire other story? I've never seen such a contrast on this show.
Her grandosn really seems like a lovely emotionally intelligent young man, you can just see the disappointment on his poor face. She unfortunately seems like a narcissist.
Not to judge, but I was not only pained by the dismissal of her grandson, but the reaction to her boyfriend’s proposal. There’s a big void in this woman’s soul.
I love Hoarders and usually am so empathetic to the hoarder because I know it’s an illness. This episode was very hard to watch though:/ Debbie seems like a really mean person.. they she acted about donating ANYTHING made me cringe
Utterly discouraging to that young man. Her grandson, he had hopes of coming to his grandmother's house and experiencing happiness, hopefulness and love from his grandmother, and she chose her shoes. A grandson is someone you can never replace ❤
Dr. Zazio and staff handle some really difficult, stubborn people. Bless them. I would not have the energy or patience to make positive progress with these patients.
I found her grandson to be very mature and understanding. He will make his own life worth diamonds. He had no expectations. He looked totally self dependent and seemed happy for his grandmother twice more than anybody else. Thanks

This made me ill .. I hope his mother protects him from this horrible woman 😢
Moving her stuff into storage for her is the absolute worst thing they could do, bc now she'll have storage payments she can't afford AND she will definitely rehoard all of the space they cleared in her house. This was sickening. I hope the grandson is okay. Some people would be so grateful to have a grandchild who wants to spend time with them.
And I can almost bank on it that Tom will be picking up the tab for those storage payments, along with other things. Note how when he asked her to marry him she paused and said, 'Well, if you wanna drive,' which I took to mean 'deal with everything.' She even had stipulations on him!
Wow, I had high hopes for this woman. She's so condesending and stubborn. She's just gonna rehoard the house and be in more debt than before
This woman is such an arrogant woman.
@@sharynschumann5275 most old white woman are.
another old street person coming up.......some people you just can't help.
@@ketaleigh6772 I doubt she'll be on the street. She has Tom to enable her.
Did anyone notice the tears in his eyes when she cruelly ejected doing the grandsons bedroom. I think that she is one of the worst cases of being so ill I have seen. Good Luck Tom I think you have taken on a lot I hope it works out for you all.
Shes selfish! To push her grandson aside is appalling!
This was the first hoarder I've ever seen who was greedy. For most of them you constantly hear "this is for my grandson" or "someone can use this!"
But Debbie is literally losing her mind over the prospect of anyone else having her stuff.
None of the bigger issues were solved here. She just got a free house clean out. Her hoarding problem was not addressed at all. Her grandsons room should have been the top of her list. So sad.
Although to be brutally honest he’s probably better off not being around her.
She showed people what an emotionally unstable thing she is. Not a healthy person for Josh to stay with at all!
I wanted to cry seeing the hurt in her grandson’s face…..also run Tom run…. while you still can!
Was anyone else wanting Matt, or Cory there to give her a reality check about all that stuff?! What she said to her grandson about his room was unforgivable! And then to find out that the grandson was diagnosed with a brain tumor after this episode!!! She definitely needs a reality check on what’s really important!
I am not familiar with Matt or Cory but I wish someone had 'stepped in'.
Meg L Yes! I thought she needs a good "talking to" from Matt or Cory!! Miss those guys!!😥
@@Instrument_of_Peace Did they quit the show??
Yes. The new organizer guy is a sweetheart. Too nice.
Her boxes of shoes are important to her
So she gets a marriage proposal and the grandson gets totally shafted. By the end of the episode, they just completely forgot about the fact that she said her stuff was more important than him. His mom didn't step in and stand up for him, and the crew was just like We didn't get to the room meant for you Josh, oh well! He showed how much he cared and helped as much as he could and then got treated like that. Like wow... everyone failed this boy.
I would have taken my son and left her there. I am serious - this woman is clearly manipulative - as most commenters have recognised. She doesn’t deserve people helping her. Also, it is enabling and rewarding her behaviour. Awful.
Yes!! I can't believe the mom just stood there and never said a thing!!
@@drunkvegangal8089 Good point!
This home will be rehoarded in no time, she said "OMG all my stuff is gone!"
She is a hateful self centered person. Let her lose everything.
As soon as she started smarting off I'd put everything back and walked away.
Felt so sorry for her grandson having to stand there and hear the things she was saying
I honestly don't see how the organizers don't ring some of these peoples necks. They behave like children and are so unappreciative 95% of the time.
Just remember…… hoarders are mentally ill…… their brains are wired differently…… hoarding is a symptom of their illness, not the cause.
@@patsyspry6248...like a lazy person that happens to break a leg, they happily sit and have people cater to them.
Like that kind of symptom?
They need to start meds for people like this woman ASAP. 🙄
Old friend of mine is a hoarder. It's a compulsion, and parting with her stuff is emotional; like going through a breakup. The idea of getting rid of her things, definitely makes her irrational and irritable.
Wring 🤦🏻♀️🤓
No one stood up for the poor grandson. He was humiliated by the grandmother and pretty much nothing was said about it. Horrible.
She is most unpleasant. A controller and a drama queen. Her partner sees something, so she is lucky in that way. I could never say my grandchildren are not a priority in my life.
She is more overwhelmed that her stuff was gone than the real beauty of her home. That poor grandson, you don’t get over words like that when your young. That stuff not only stings to the core but that memory is forever engraved in his mind.
Anyone else find themselves cleaning like crazy after watching these shows?
When I know I have to clean but feel like leaving it for the next day, I watch an episode. Never fails ! Instant motivation 😂
Tom... NOoooooo!
I do! 😄
Me i just finishes cleaning my kitchen
Yes, motivated to donate to St Vincent DePaul’s.
the child who first spoke for his grandmother was extremely mature with the situation and was very understanding of her safety and things that should be a healthy environment for her.
This woman will not stop hoarding because as you can see, she didn't get rid of anything. She will now hoard up her fiance's house.
Yup!
Don't you wonder that they have fiancés, wives and husbands? I don't know how they do it.
And get her daughter to pay for the storage.
Her fiance doesn't even have a house, he lives with his mama
What? Someone was ok marrying her with all that "bagage" ??? 😱
It's sad how sick this lady is and how easily she can choose her stuff over her family. She's got one foot out the door to homelessness yet she wants to rent more Storage Boxes??!! Wow.
Debbie is one of those people who need to lose a home.
Yes she'd have to get rid of it all to move into a rental!!
I dont understand why a 68 year old woman still has a mortgage! She cant afford it, shes spending her money on things she throws on the floor. Now she has storage unit fees? Tom is nuts to hook up with her.
@@queenbee3647 Hes almost dead, so hes probably like yolo
@@queenbee3647 she's been in the house for 37 years so she must have either refinanced or taken out a second mortgage or something at some point. my MIL had 10 years left on her mortgage then lost her job and had to refinance for another 30-year term. she'll be dead before she pays that house off, but she was too proud to sell and use the equity to move someplace cheaper.
@@bevtaylor2856 she would hoard herself out of the rental! Structured facility would be better.
That grandson is an absolute treasure.
How do these hoarders always have a spouse or significant other? Amazing
Because insecure people want them. They want to feel like rescuers. And know that none will take them away from you too
Wondering exactly the same !!
@@janebaker4912 never thought of that. Good point !
I know! I can't even get a dinner!
Because they hoard the dating pool, too 😜
What a WICKED THING TO SAY TO HER GRANDSON...BLESS HIS HEART....😓
No way would I hitch my wagon to a hoarder that is about to lose their home. What's up with that guy?
He wants to be her protector.
He's probably thinking that once the hoarded stuff is gone that everything will go back to normal but he doesn't realize that she really is obsessed with accumulating stuff. I truly hope that things work out for them.
Desperation! 🙄🙄🙄
he lives with Mama. What does that say? Free home.
Debbie is so rude they just helping her Im sure there’s plenty of other people that need this help and would appreciate it
I know it’s an illness but she was so ungrateful she didn’t deserve your help .
You must know that is part of the illness.
I agree. She doesn't want to change.
You don't know it's an illness. You've just been told it's an illness
That's why she needs to go through weeks of therapy. 4 days of cleanup is not enough. She'll probably hoard again for the next years of her life.
illnesses are treated with medical intervention, she chose to be like this. Tom is crazier than her. No wonder she has financial problems, she spends all her money hording.
My heart absolutely breaks for Joshua. He was so excited to get that room ready.
Unfortunately Debbie just seems like a genuinely bad person.
@@oldbluewitch3386 Your comment made me laugh. Now I feel awful.
My friend who is on a limited budget, sees things (unusual things of course) that she can't resist. I tell her : the world is filled with beautiful things but you don't have to own them.
This is a big joke, organizers should have walked out. If she was in financial crisis, rented units was a mistake.
The unit owners will take their units back, and empty them on her lawn.
The mask theater made this hard to watch. Just a bunch of muffled voices. Trump had like a 50k person rally in PA no problems.
If she does not pay they will auction them off right?
@@migooknamja so watch something else.
@@ntakovacj3644 will do.
Would love to see an update on this. All that hoard I'm sure is back in the house. You can call it a disease. I call it selfish.
God bless that young man, such a sweetie. Heart breaking the way she was carrying on.
Such a nice house. I'd be so grateful for a house like that, and she turns it into a dumpster. Not even grateful for all the help she received. Just made it difficult every step of the way. And worst of all she made it clear to her own grandson that he isn't a priority to her. Smdh. I understand that this is a sickness, but it's really hard to understand how anyone can be so selfish
I know!! I think about that every time I watch the show. People with endless amounts of money and a nice house that they've completely destroyed. I wonder how people from 3rd world countries would react if they saw this?
Ok Brandon is going to become a councelor or organizer himself in a few short years. What a wise young man he is. There are few hoarders more stubborn then this woman. Ugh
Someone in the comments here said he was diagnosed with a brain tumor right after the show. I don't know where to find that information but how horrific if it's true! 😥
You can watch the entire 2 hour episode for the actual ending.
I hope he got over it I had a friend get a real bad one in high school he was able to fix it
What a horrible selfish woman. My heart broke for her sweet grandson, having to hear his grandma say he wasnt important enough to clean a room for him to come visit.She makes me sick.
Frankly, they did this woman no favors. They should have stuck to their principles and told her, “Nope. This isn’t what we contracted for. One of three things is gonna happen here - either we take this stuff away as planned (option one) or we take it back into the house and dump it back in your bedroom, living room, kitchen and wherever we can find room (option two). If you don’t do either of those and you don’t want your stuff put back into the house, then we’ll unload your stuff into your front lawn and you can make your own arrangements to deal with it (option three). What we are NOT going to do is unload this stuff into the lawn and then pay our people to transport and then load it into storage for you. That would be your choice at your expense. You have 5 minutes to decide. If you don’t have an answer after 5 minutes, the default will be Option three and we’ll start unloading the trucks onto your lawn.”
I've seen SOOOO many episodes where they have been asked to move things into storage and this is the first time I've ever seen were they have allowed this.
Lucinda, You don't mess around girl. This woman is a child I think that guy Tom should run for the hills maybe he could borrow a pair of her sneakers.
@Lucinda. I double that!
@@james-gu5kd NO! Those are HER sneakers!
@@Mari_Oh Hahahahahahah. Exactly.
It's always this way: my life is awful, tears, I'll be homeless, remorse, my kids mean EVERYTHING to me...well, with exception to my STUFF...I'm not giving THAT away...yes, I'm keeping that- oh look how beautiful my place looks because everyone else did the work while I pouted about giving away trash.
Hahahahahahaha - well said.
In all of these I’ve been able to found compassion for these people. But this woman is insufferable. That poor grandson having his grandmother sit and throw a tantrum over her wanting her wardrobe done because her grandson isn’t a priority. Such entitled behaviour, this team came to help you lady because the state YOU let YOUR house get into. Get away with it lady
That kid Josh is 👌 He really has a good and kind heart! i feel so sad for him!!!!! She is really mean to her grandson. 😢
Imagine being at a local donation drop off box location and receiving 500 pairs of new shoes from the same person!
All size 8. 😫
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 no
I actually wonder how often that happens.
I’m just so sad for the grandson, poor kid. But he seems like a sweet smart & mature kid so I hope he’s surrounded by people who appreciate & truly loves him. I hope he’ll be ok.🥺
We have shows in Australia. The difference is everything is boxed and put into a hall on tables in order so the hoarder can see it all. The home is empty. Repaired, painted and re decorated over 3 days. Trucks take away donated goods, rubbish is removed and treasures are restored. The home owners usually keep 30 percent of their belongings.
I'm an Aussie too, and I reckon the 'take it all to a hall' is the best way too. I think some of these people get embarrassed about having their 'precious' stuff on their front yard and can't concentrate on the sorting & decisions process.
Yes yes yes. A few sh I ws in usa years ago took it all to sort in empty retail spaces, held garage sale there, cleaned & repaired house. Hoarders could see the mountains of whatever item and make better decisions vs on their own front lawn
I have thought myself that this idea would be the best way to do a de- hoarding! Wish I could see the Aussie hoarder shows.
@@laurahenuset5206 Space Invaders. With Peter Walsh on Channel 9 Australia. Maby you could Google Peter Walsh. He has been on Channel 10 The Living Room also.
They always start out meek and humble and then turn into aggressive, manipulative narcissists when they're told something they don't like.
Her answer to that proposal was horrible 😂
But not surprising
I agree, her answer to that propsal was horrible, 'Well, um. if you want to drive'. And her declaration that her grandson's room wasn't a priority was horrible too.
No one should EVER propose in front of other people. She was basically forced to say yes.
I agree reacted horribly to the proposal.
Real sad that strangers on TH-cam care more about her grand son's feelings than she does. Quite a despicable character overall, at 68 it's too late for a wakeup call or change so imo she can stuff it
I really wished they got the young mans room done. After living in that he deserved that. I could see his disappointment 😕 I was disappointed for him 🥺
Me too! If you want to live like that THATS FINE BUT DONT SUBJECT YOUR GRANDSON TO LIVING LIKE THAT! THAT JUST SHOWS YOU THAT THIS WOMAN CARES ABOUT HER STUFF MORE THAN HER OWN GRANDSON! ITS JUST SAD!
Absolutely.
He doesn't live there. It was cleaning up for him to visit. He won't be able to visit and stay overnight. He gladly doesn't live there.
I'm so sorry for the grandson. I would give anything for my grandchild to love me this way. And poor Tom!
After the grandson thing - I'd leave her in the dust and not look back. Mother or not. The way she said it too. NOTHING IN HERE IS IMPORTANT TO ME ! ( grandsons potential room) and I am NOT working in here (grandsons room) WHEW .. I'd be done - she wouldn't care anyway - for those who would maintain "she's your mother!" Believe me I know from experience when your close relatives including your parents say you aren't important to them - THEY MEAN IT . You just need to move on to not let them take your entire life away ..
She clearly has no desire to get rid of anything. I would like to see an episode/series of helping the same person over a course of 6 mo or so... so that a person like her (resistant to the process) can take the baby steps needed and move forward.
A proposal---does he know what he's getting himself into...yikes
Dudes almost 70. Pickiness goes away at that stage.
@@mrjfrostbite slim pickings in Mckeesport PA, LOL.
Holy cow man! Don't do it!!
A free home, and a share of her income.
He probably thinks he can change her, like most people do going into a relationship with someone.
She’s lived in the house for 37 years, and she still has a mortgage? That’s pretty sad. Also, I have to say, that every single hoarder, every one, is WAY beyond selfish.
Homeless people want clothes...donate.
Now, she’s got costly storage rental fees, unless Hoarders is enabling her by paying her storage fees?
I thought she doesn’t have enough funds to continue paying her mortgage?
They set her up to lose her home. Storage fees are such a scam, paying hundreds per month and the fees will quickly exceed the items value. They did this woman dirty imo.
@@allaboutroofing2 this woman did herself dirty
@@deversandbello true, but they didn't help. Just moved the problem and increased her expenses.
She did bring it on herself. She said it's what she wanted all along. I bet they end up auctioning off her stuff. I hope she thinks about it and changes her mind. But she won't. 😢
Maybe the storage company will auction off her stuff if she can’t pay or move it out.
Tom just signed up for a major catastrophic failure in the not so distant future. I’m almost certain those little u-storage boxes filled with a dozen pair of shoes will soon find their way inside this clean home. To that young fine grandson, please focus ur vibrant energy somewhere else, grandma don’t want you in her hoarding space.
Sell the shoes to pay off her mortgage😂that’s what I would have told her. Ya wanna keep the house or be homeless with a bunch of shoes? Your choice
Those shoes aren't worth a mortgage.
Take her shoes off her feet...see how homeless feel with no shoes. Please give to homeless people. Lots of good things to donate. We up...
How is the outside of the house actually quite gorgeous and well kept whilst the inside is an entire other story? I've never seen such a contrast on this show.
This house is in better shape than another’s I seen. All the stuff is low end stuff and mortgage payments gone to her hoarding buying.
Her grandosn really seems like a lovely emotionally intelligent young man, you can just see the disappointment on his poor face. She unfortunately seems like a narcissist.
I feel bad for her grandson ☹️
What a nightmare woman! My heart breaks for her grandson Josh ♥
Forget the whole hoarding part, Tom can do much better I think everyone can agree on that
Debbie is so self center I just cant except how she is being giving so much attention when her behavior is so thoughtless
This hoarder is a master manipulator.
Shoes to homeless
@5:47, It's true, like the boy mentioned, useful things are rendered unusable when there is too much of it.
She said she likes to collect stuff. You can’t even see the stuff it’s all buried within eachother lmao
Not to judge, but I was not only pained by the dismissal of her grandson, but the reaction to her boyfriend’s proposal. There’s a big void in this woman’s soul.
I love Hoarders and usually am so empathetic to the hoarder because I know it’s an illness. This episode was very hard to watch though:/ Debbie seems like a really mean person.. they she acted about donating ANYTHING made me cringe
I agree
Utterly discouraging to that young man.
Her grandson, he had hopes of coming to his grandmother's house and experiencing happiness, hopefulness and love from his grandmother, and she chose her shoes.
A grandson is someone you can never replace ❤
Dr. Zazio and staff handle some really difficult, stubborn people. Bless them. I would not have the energy or patience to make positive progress with these patients.
Dr Z didn't do anything to help this woman !
@@KittyNyce Yes, Dr. Z tried. Unfortunately, Debbie did not appreciate the help.
I found her grandson to be very mature and understanding. He will make his own life worth diamonds. He had no expectations. He looked totally self dependent and seemed happy for his grandmother twice more than anybody else. Thanks
He'll be doing the housework..
😆
It's like she expected them to be able to reorganize all of her stuff to make more room and keep it all at the same time.
USUALLY WHEN FINISH SEEING A EPISODE HOARDERS I FEEL LIKE GETTING UP AND START CLEANING ,I USUALLY END UP IN THE KITCHEN LETS CLEAN THIS PUPPY UP NOW
😄
I clean the kitchen everyday and everyday it looks the same. -_-
