Behind the Door

This blog was launched by two cousins to help children of hoarders by telling our own stories and offering a safe place for other children of hoarders to comment, tell their own stories and share tips for coping. You are not alone in dealing with loved ones who hoard, whether they are your parents, grandparents, a spouse or a close friend. We each use a "nom de plume" to protect our relatives from embarrassment until they are ready to confront their hoarding and deal with it properly.
