My wife and I started watching your videos around the beginning of the year, just after we got news my wife had terminal brain cancer. My wife used to be an insurance defense attorney. She loved watching your videos all the way to the end (07/11/23), laughing at the self snitching. Thank you for providing a lot of content that my wife enjoyed, even when she lost her mental capacity, she loved watching your videos. Thank you so much for providing videos that we could talk about and brought my wife back for a little while at least.

Actually, people who live in these conditions are very, VERY likely to be suffering from mental health issues. Poverty, trauma, substance abuse, and lack of proper mental health treatment are all factors that can contribute to a situation like this. Studies have been done that link trauma and clutter specifically. It's great that you did not grow up in these conditions, but don't assume it's because other people are lazy or not responsible.

A family friend is a cop and last year he told us about a similar case: They got called to do a welfare check on a psychiatric patient, who had missed a couple of appointments and it was considered a red flag for his condition (no idea what it was, but apparently it was the kind that warrants a check). The patient lived with their mother. So they went to the apartment, and they immediately got alerted by the smell, they rung the bell, patient opens acting relatively normal, they ask where the mother is and the patient points towards the living room like "she's right there", cops went to check and she was there, basically liquefied (it was summer), all hell broke loose and the patient got detained, but they let him go later on, because there was no evidence that he had killed her. They believe that the mother died of natural causes, however the patient couldn't handle it, and became delusional believing that she was just fine, sitting as usual in the living room, apparently he didn't even know how much time had passed (hence he missing the appointments).

I worked in the morgue as a Diener (autopsy assistant). Part of my duties included taking the body from the refrigerator, matching toe tags with records, then transfer it to the autopsy metal bed. I would proceed to open. When it was done, I then closed and washed the corpse. I was the first one there and the last to leave. Bruce is absolutely right about the smell. There’s nothing like it. Once you’ve smelled it, you will always know what it is. I had my little tricks I used like a peppermint under my mask and breathing through my mouth. But wait, there’s more. I would come home and shower because there’s a possibility of having small pieces of tissue on me somewhere. When your sinuses drain from the hot water, the smell returns. It was daunting work, but so interesting. Suddenly, the science books made more sense. Most people found it disgusting and didn’t want to hear anything about it, while some of my friends wanted to know every little thing. It’s not for everyone, but somebody’s got to do it.! 🤷🏻‍♀️

I do appreciate his vigor trying to get to me.. & for him being so kind to me. I think he knew I was lying through my teeth saying I was okay, but he couldn't do much else, so he left.

Full disclosure, I had already seen this, so I knew what the outcome was at the beginning. My sister lived in a different city from me and her daughter. In 2012 a long time neighbor called for a wellness check and she was found deceased. It was February in Aurora, CO and next to no heat, so decomp was slowed way down. He daughter got the death certificate, but I think she died of a heart attack, and she probably also had some prescription drugs in her because of constant pain. She was physically disabled, but smoked like a chimney. She had been diagnosed years ago with Borderline Personality Disorder and was constantly miserable. She was also a registered nurse. She had a heart attack in 2005 and told me numerous times if she thought she was having another heart attack she would not call 911. I suspect that is exactly what she did and any drugs that might have been in her body would have been incidental, I think. In February 1983, she found our father dead in his hot tub and his cause of death was drowning and manner was accidental. I have also seen a couple videos where a person who did yard cleanups for free called the police after smelling that distinctive smell. I am now 76 and I am glad my daughter checks on me frequently.

[@monicarenee7949]

As someone who is disabled and would not be able to take care of my home without my husband I have to say that if she is an older lady she probably has not been able to take care of her home by herself. If her son is the type of person that would harm her or hide that she was harmed then he would probably not help keep the home up. I believe that disability and elder care services should cover basic home care services such as basic cleaning and basic home maintenance (basic maintenance such as changing air filters, lawn care, etc).

[@katella]

This basic care help for the elderly living alone is provided in many ( don't ask me to be specific, I'm not an expert) European countries. It not only keeps many people out of care homes but is much cheaper for the state than having to provide full care.

[@daynasafranek7807]

My dad had a couple of large strokes that affected his life substantially. He could take care of basic tasks, but needed assistance in the restroom and with home care. My mom was 76 at the time, and except for the two afternoons a month she got a break to run errands in her own, she was doing it all. My dad had to go on Medicaid due to the high cost of medication (especially insulin at the time), and my mom looked for assistance in her area. , but there just wasn’t the staff available or the services available in their rural area. My dad passed away a year later due to health problems and my mom was absolutely exhausted at the end. I live two states away and have my own family here, so it’s complicated sometimes and it’s just bleak for seniors and the disabled. Some people would rather be at home with an abusive relative than in a facility and they can’t afford them anyway. It’s a horrible situation to be in and I feel terrible for that lady. Her son sounds like an opportunist and loser at life. Maybe prison MIGHT improve him, but I doubt it. If someone can kill their own mother, then that tells me that they have the morals of a maggot.

As a species, we have an instinct to smell our own dead as the most hideous smell to keep other humans away. There's no getting around it.

There's something horrendously wrong with him.

The short back and forths between you two are always so heartwarming, it's nice to see a strong family bond these days. And as someone who lives in a disorganized home, it's often as simple as not being taught how to do basic chores and tasks by your family or other caregivers. It's taken me until my early 30s to learn the life skills and routines to keep my place looking okay. I'm not defensive over it anymore, but for me, that and chronic pain are the biggest impediments to me keeping my place up.

[@platedlizard]

“Just because your poor doesn’t mean you can’t be neat” too right. There’s a homeless guy near me who has all his stuff carefully sorted, kept neat and repaired. Trash is bagged up and taken away, instead of thrown into the nearest bush. Whereas a former minor politician who also lived in my area had a hoarded house that took a bulldozer and six full sized dumpsters to clean out after he passed on.

[@JRBendixen]

Its harder to keep things neat when poor. Its really way way harder than for everybody else.

[@BronzeBellaBria]

​@JRBendixen yeah, being poor is also a huge stressor which can trigger dormant mental illness. I fully disagree w Bruce on this one

[@RealJohnnyGuillotine]

I've helped DHS social Services many times, they had 3 kids they needed to place in a safe house quickly, they called me and came over talked with me and the wife, brought this doctor's kids to my house, (I'm far more poor than a doctor, especially this doctor) the kids got there and looked around and seen the all the open space, seen the rooms. As time went on, these kids opened up about their home, how papers and other things were stacked to the ceiling, how dishes were stacked in and around the sink, and one of the bath tubs was filled with dishes, it was a bad hoarding situation. The oldest asked me if I was going to testify to what they've told me, I responded do you want me to do you don't have to speak? She affirmed yes to me. The house got cleaned, and from things I said and suggested it kept the doctor's house on a routine surprise check, those kids came back to my house a few times because they liked my wife and I and our kids, they're in a better place within the house now, they're good. Doctor's house was worth $450,000. Mine $79k Just because you got money doesn't mean you do the right things. I've met the doctor because his kids wanted to come by, he knew of me through rumors, he asked a lot of questions about varied things, I just told him "We all have things we do, you do surgery, I do other things like helping people when and where I can." But he has a system, and hired a cleansing company to come 2 times a week to clean the house. So... guess elective surgeries make you a nice bank.

[@thirdprince4028]

I mean, yes, being poor does not inherently prevent every poor person from keeping a clean home. It does very much prevent some poor people from it, though, especially disabled folks who cannot keep up with household chores on their own and do not have the resources to get assistance with it.

Ugh. I had an ex that said ‘a piece of paper can’t keep someone away” when I wanted a no-contact order. They’re right unfortunately. Just because you have that ‘paper’, it doesn’t make you safe.

[@theKashConnoisseur]

A piece of paper doesn't make you safe, but it does give the police some legal recourse if the individual comes back around, which they otherwise would lack. However, the police are minutes away at best when life and death struggles occur in seconds. That's why it's so important to exercise your 2nd Amendment rights and carry the most potent self defense tools you are capable of using.

[@resarm5007]

Years ago when I went thru it, I will just say that I exercised certain rights, then I disappeared into a PO Box. For years I kept my place of residence very private and I am still a private person, tho I do own property now that the person I had issues with moved away and moved on. I did NOT get an order of protection because you need to disclose your physical location and it doesn't protect you except to give the police recourse AFTER a crime has been committed, which 😂 I was not willing to take chances like that. Nawp...just get out, get a PO Box and keep your mouth shut. Remain private for awhile and you can get away from certain people that may mean you harm. No piece of paper will protect you. But exercising your RIGHTS will.
