So im sorta a child of a hoarder but ive also done some stuff aswell, its nothing like whats on tv, but its still a problem as we want to move. My mother keeps saying she wants me and her to get the junk out first but shes having trouble terterming whats trash compared to me, nor can we really afford some team to clean everything up.
What would be the best course of action here, because 2 people is not working.
if you have alot you need to throw out, probably something like a removal service that you can dump all your trash in. I have parents that are hoarders, and we used a service similar “600-junk removal” twice. it was a battle fighting hoarders to get trash thrown out.
Op expect to fight your parents mentally and physically, because they wont want anything be thrown away.
even then we couldnt throw away junk to make much of a difference, because all of it was filled up again a few months later. i assume your parents have hoarded enough that pest can easily establish in the house too. A and E hoarders is the extreme end of hoarding, but the mental aspects of them fighting everyone is common even in lightly hoarder situations.
