Wow. Who was/is the hoarder? It ran in my husband's family. It's something that never really completely goes away. And I'm pretty sure it can be contagious. There really needs to be a 12-step program for it. I feel for you.
From what I understand, it's a mental health disorder, although I don't believe it's in the DSM-V. Typically hoarding comes about from some sort of trauma like losing a loved one or having one's house burn down in a fire.
