@Former-Member Your friend sounds like a treasure. I hope respit works out for you and that you do some things for yourself, I know how hard that can be.

Yes my brother is a good man. He's an alcoholic, trying to cope with his pain. It's a matter of getting him with just enough drinks to hold a conversation, and not to many where nothing makes sense. I'm trying to convince him to come for a holiday, but I know it's a huge ask. I wouldn't be able to visit him, too much Unknown and unsafe in my head.

Good luck with the sorting. My mother was a horarder and sounds like what you are dealing with, she never saw her treasures, in boxes or hiding elsewhere. But I guess somewhere in her she had them, which made sense to her.

Im learning to talk around the new forum!!!!!!!
