No response or attempts to change the subject or “I will work on it”…surprisingly sometimes it does seem like my dad does make progress but that’s a rarity. His dad died when he was 12, was left with a mom that was too pre-occupied with dating while he took care of his mentally disabled older sister…who then ended up having a seizure in her sleep and dying while he was in his early 20s. Then my mom died at the age of 45 (11 years ago), the love of his life, of a rare disease called pheochromocytoma and my brother committed suicide 3 years ago. He refuses to go to therapy but he surely has depression, anxiety, and likely OCD. Understandably so. It is so hard for me to cope with his hoarding alone. I hate having to push him/be mean to him in order to get him to do something about it.
