[Kotomi]

I don't know if I have insight or not, but I understand the situation...
my mother is the same, though she hasn't had a job since before I was born... dad earns everything
her childhood I know for a fact affects her, she also didn't have much as a child and uses objects to help remind her of memories, things to remind her of the past...
happy times good times people places... (she has talked to me about some things before on why she got it, and those were all reasons for having something)
I don't know how to help I haven't found a way to stop the hoarding...
she also seems to do it with food so at times we end up having to toss the food
if it is vegetables though and she got to much for it to last properly I give it to our rabbits
