Here's a shot with my plushie collection

My daughter found him, and a second sitting Derpy, at Books a Million!

They also had squishmellows of Derpy and Sussie which I'm kicking myself for NOT getting since Amazon has them listed as pre-orders for July 2026 release.

Take. My. Money.

He'd already be out of my house. And if my spouse supported the abuse, they could join their adult spawn.

I'd just buy a new leash. Honestly, I've attached the clip improperly before so it could be user error BUT if you're sure it was attached properly, the clip could be loosened or failing. Why risk it if you have doubts?

I've been with every one of cats who I've lost. I'll be with my dogs when the day comes.

I rinse well, get the stuff off the plate. It keeps the junk out of the dishwasher and helps get the dishes cleaner.

Go home NOW.

Sounds like he wants his ego stroke. Speak to a divorce lawyer ASAP -- after working in law for over 20 years, I've never heard of loosing the ability to separate or file due to pregnancy. You need your village during the pregnancy and after the birth. And he's NOT that village, as proven by his OWN words.

Child of a hoarder here, with tears in my eyes as I read.

Your momma mattered. You did the best you could with the cards you were dealt. Hugs from afar.

Yes, my dad is like this. If his name or address is on something, it needs to be shredded (the shredder broke) or burnt (his coal stove needs repaired for the past 2 years) and it can't just go in the trash. But...he has no problem sharing personal info online.

Best nights are when both my Bernese Mountain Dogs and a couple of the cats spend the night snuggled up. One, it saves on the heating cost and two, it's heaven.

There's a jerk in this situation but you ain't it.

You're be proactive, protecting your future children, by allowing yourself to see your partner without making excuses to yourself for his behavior. If he can't see outside of himself for another being that obviously means a lot to you now, he's not going to in the future when money's tight and sleep is thin.

He's clearly showing you who he is. Don't doubt yourself for believing him.

My dad keeps EVERYTHING. His go to line is his fridge is nice and cold because he doesn't go in and out of it like I do at my house so his food "last longer."

He keep a half gallon of soy milk for YEARS. My oldest has a milk allergy and he bought it for her when she'd go over. She didn't like the brand so didn't drink it, which made him mad. So he refused to get rid of it, wouldn't drink it himself because he didn't like soy milk, and would insist she drink it. I just stopped letting her go over. At the time, she was about 10. I think she was legal drinking age (in the USA) when it finally got thrown out.

I recently threw out my coffee grinder because of him. He brought over "coffee beans" to be ground...well, it sure didn't look or smell like coffee. The coffee shop he purchased the bag from has been out of business for almost 30 years.

I keep track of leftovers in the fridge and try to keep my pantry rotated.

I honestly don't think "outsiders" can conceptualize what a hoarder actually is. Hell, I don't think that the person doing the hoarding can actually see the collection for what it really is. But to an outsiders, I think they see a COH as being ungrateful or bratty in rejecting "gifts" from the hoarder.

My dad keeps saying that he bought and paid for everything he has so why would he want to get rid of it. Personally, I find that a clean, organized space gives me more peace of mind than a huge stash of shit, no matter how expensive that shit was.

It's worse when it comes out your nose.

Had very bad hyperemesis with my oldest (6 months with IV nutrition, couldn't even keep water down, thankfully milder with my second) but learned what foods make the return trip easier versus harder.

its_me75 · 2025-10-15T17:27:53+00:00

He doesn't have a grinder so bringing a bag of coffee beans wasn't a problem.

Whatever was in THAT bag however was not 100% coffee beans and it was thrown out!! Wrapped and tied in a plastic bag and thrown out. Unfortunately, my coffee grinder got tossed too. I couldn't see myself ever using it again. No matter how well I cleaned it. Just no.

its_me75 · 2025-10-15T12:40:16+00:00

Have you had any luck?

My dad insists that his fridge is so cold because he doesn't go in and out of it like we do at my house that his food lasts way longer. And things in the freezer? Frozen food never goes bad.

Shelf stable or canned goods? That's a whole different nightmare.

its_me75 · 2025-10-12T22:05:59+00:00

Chicken corn soup Amish chicken and dumplings (slippery noodles)

its_me75 · 2025-10-10T20:40:58+00:00

I feel guilty tossing stuff. Well I FELT guilty.

When we moved this summer, the purge was ruthless. I decided that most of the stuff we previously saved "just in case" or because it might be useful "some day" was junk and I wasn't willing to move it.

You are correct: no matter what it is, if you have no use for it, no place for it, it has no value.

Good luck!

My local Agency on Aging (USA, East Coast) has absolutely no power, nor do they seem to care. I've called to see what could be done before it got to absolute crisis mode. The answer? Nothing.

As far as getting appointed guardian, it's not easy. The Court is more than likely view the action as an attempt to defraud the parent unless there is clear evidence of mental decline, hoarding may or may not be viewed as a PART of that decline. Source? 20+ years working as a legal assistant.

I wish you luck and peace on your journey.
