I can understand your dilemma,I have been a hoarder for a number of years myself and it got to a stage where i took over my parents house with my stash,till my father couldnt tolerate and one day when i had a relapse of my nervous breakdown he started throwing some of my belongings out in the street (and including myself)where he could not relate to what i was going through. My hoarding got that bad i rented a self storage unit which I have had for approximately eight years.... I am a huge music fanatic and collected guitars when i was financially endowed and music records (too many). I have to stay my prioreties eventually did change with the severety of my illness and in particular my realm of belief in creed and started to offload a lot of my possesions...The only itens i keep now are tax invoices,shopping receipts, and my past legal papers and documents.(oh yeh and my clothing)You never know when you may be summoned on justifying where youve been on a particular time or day.This is still very painfull for me keeping literally dzoens of shoe boxes of receipts,(many years worth ever since lossing my job)but i cant stop it.Possesions mean nothing to me any more,its all about my current existance! Please be patient with mum im sure at some stage hopefully her prioreties will change..... Take care and all the best!!!!!!
