i'm myra and i'm a retired nurse i think that yes i am a hoarder
in the living room there's clutter on the stairwell there's clutter in the bedrooms
there's clutter i hate it it's just making my brain swell
i'm missy myra's stepdaughter myra loves to shop we do little thrift stores consignment shops
that's nice i like to look good i like the pattern pretty my mother was a stickler when you went out
in public you looked your best bye-bye okay thank you i'm maria and myra is my mother
i don't think i've ever seen her wear the same thing twice
meyer was very crafty at keeping us out i would go to the home to pick her up and she'd be waiting in
the driveway i'm sue anne and myra is my sister i've never been in a house here in chesapeake
i haven't been at my mother's house for about 15 years now i wanted to keep it a secret
and you can't keep secrets for very long
everybody knew us in town because he was deputy chief of police he had girlfriends and we lived
in a small town so people would talk he left me for our minister's wife when i found out that
malcolm was leaving me i was just devastated he looked over my sister and look at her
i'm deborah butler i'm a co-compliance inspector with the city of chesapeake if myra doesn't
clean up the home she will be removed from the house it will be posted unsafe unfit
and possibly be charged criminally my greatest fear is that she's going to die in that home
and no one will know good morning everybody good morning good morning thank you for having us here
my name is matt paxton i'm an extreme cleaning specialist
your family doesn't want you living like this and why is that we love her
what's coming up for you you know what please don't ask me anything so i'm asking
okay i tried to console myra and suanne shut me down i know you've got to do it
but please don't say that okay i don't think that she understands that part of this process
is uncovering the feelings talking about them not holding them in and shutting down
somehow we've got to help suanne see that we all need to do our jobs if this is going to work
all right look at me i know you're upset but we have to do this i'm here
i'm hurting not only physically because you are my mother and to see
you living like this it has done something to me that i can't even explain
i need you to put your feelings aside right now i want you to just find some kind of strength so
we can get this done so when i go home i can feel confident that you're safe you're not safe in here
the easy thing is to pull stuff out of the house now we really got to start sorting through it okay
this can go this whole box yep this can go this is garba okay myra is doing great she's having
lots of success in getting rid of stuff all this can go in the garbage okay but the next thing i
know maria and suanne get into it over nothing i said hush you don't like it no i don't like it she
was saying something to me and i couldn't hear her i could say what the hell i want to say and
you don't want to hear it no i don't want to hear what you gonna do i kept saying huh what did you
say and then she just green what's up then she went to her purse and lifted up this knife i'm
telling you back away from me what are you gonna do years ago i did carry a knife and i did cut
a lot of people so what you gonna cut me i'll cut and if you gotta cut me so i went in my pocketbook
and when i grabbed the night or the knife you know what's up i'm not gonna cut it guys you gonna cut
me she just happened to see it and she took it to the moon because i didn't hear what you say
don't let this brace fool you now cause this emergency room
around the corner one of us going there
yesterday there was a lot of concern about some of the events that took place
luckily swann made the decision this morning to leave sometimes the best way to be supportive is
from a distance today we're going to focus on rebuilding family all right let's go
this is a seriously dangerous room debbie what do you think about this with all the oil
it's quite the fire hazard all right to earn our keep we're all going to clean for a few minutes
okay oh god help me you can do it
look at you're doing it how we feeling over there pretty good
i gotta get out please
i was running from the past i mean there's always something deep down inside that causes
hoarding she's not willing psychologically to deal with the issues that brought us here
letting yourself be vulnerable it hurts that's how we grow that's why i want you to jump back in the
kitchen again okay you gotta face the fear don't let the fear face you all that garbage needs to go
you have raised two amazing children maria tensed up i wanted to find out what was going on
so what's going on my mother had nothing to do with who i am she went into nursing
she did this she did that but all the while i was being raised by a whole nother family
there's some deep-seated secrets in this family and i think it's important i try to uncover them
we've never talked about why i lived with nana and not with you or not even with grandma and grandpa
because grandma didn't want you there
you know what i'm no i wasn't good enough for my grandparents i wasn't enough for you and you
just threw me away people know what it feels like to know that your family didn't want you
maria is really upset this is years of pain coming out nobody wanted anything to do with me
maria was asking me to tell her the truth and i will i love her she means everything to me
they do love each other and they can move on while recognizing they still have some family work to do
let's wrap up this day huh okay we've got one more day we need
to keep the focus and get this house cleaned up from this point we go up
we did good
oh my god
when i saw the couch i could not believe it oh my god
so debbie how do you deem this house i deem it safe and clear that myra is able to stay
all right it was mind-boggling to think that it could be this clean
in such a short period of time oh my god hi
