Tough show tonight! Linda's children should have been NOWHERE NEAR her house. They were frustrated and angry and unsupportive. And it didn't help that her organizer didn't believe she could do it either and verbalized that a lot. For the first time, i felt like they didn't offer her proper help, although it was clear Dr Z was doing her best.

Todd seemed to be doing this for the wrong reasons - doing it to please his girlfriend and get her back. I wonder too how much of his issue was disorganization vs hoarding.

Agreed, it was a tough show.

I understand why Linda's children felt the way they did. They wanted to run through the whole house, clean it up, and just start over. That would probably be my first inclination too, just move out of the way and let me take over and do it. Of course this doesn't work in the long run because the hoarder doesn't learn the proper skills, but I can see why many "helpers" do this.

Just when Todd was getting into the swing of things Robin threw up a roadblock and asked him why he was just throwing everything away. Good to see someone besides the psychologists noticing that hoarders can defect to the other side for a moment, then regret it and just end up worse. Most family would be excited he's throwing so much away, she wanted to stop and ask why.
