Support community for children of hoarders - sharing resources and experiences

r/ChildofHoarder

Hoarding disorder occurs in an estimated 2 to 6 percent of the population and often leads to substantial distress and problems functioning. Treatment of hoarding disorder can be challenging because many people don't recognize the negative impact of hoarding on their lives or don't believe they need treatment. This community is for the children, friends, and loved ones of hoarders. For those struggling with hoarding, please refer to r/hoarding.
