I'm a husband of a "clean" (no garbage, but huge piles of clothes everywhere) hoarder with 4 children. Looking at your comments about your dad, I wonder if my kids will think the same of me. Would you have preferred that he left her? (And brought you along, of course). I'm at the point where I finally am realizing that I'm not going to change her without doing something like separating, as much as I love her. L Debbie,

It's been a few years. I have some photos of people who aren't in my life anymore, that I keep thinking I 'should' get rid of, but I don't want to. There's nothing wrong with keeping a few sentimental things. Especially if you're still working through the feelings that go with them. I have a friend who saves her dad’s last voicemail.

Sometimes, I think I'm neat, because it's the only thing I can control. Cleaning relieves my anxiety of having to deal with the two of them. I’m neat with a vampire daughter and ex-husband.

Create a list of necessities and change behaviors: Replace an entire office and all media with a handheld computer - work anywhere anytime. Living room: Couch, chair, floor lamp Kitchen: One set pots / dishes / utensils Bedroom: Bed, pillow, 2 sheets, blanket, quilt, floor lamp Wardrobe: 7 outfits, sweater, hooded jacket, gloves, tote bag Bathroom: 3 towels, one cosmetic bag Use a daybed / sofabed to sleep, study, dine and entertain. A separate bedroom, office and dining room may not be needed. Store items in baskets beneath furniture. Vertical storage is claustrophobic and cluttering. Bureaus, closets, shelving, cupboards and tables may not be needed. Take good care of your possessions and pass them on to others. Keep it simple. Create a list of necessities and change behaviors:
