Yoda, hunny! I've been thinking about you ever since you first posted the possibility of participating in the Hoarders program.

I've watched a lot of the Discovery Hoarders programs. It seems that all the programs focus on the main character/hoarder, with the family or friends as peripheral characters. The family/friends are always concerned, and often "victims" of the hoarder (as in family who live with the hoarder). I've never seen one, NOT ONE, in which other family members were exposed as having problems themselves,though some have indeed been identified as having their own issues with hoarding. LynnP has a valid point that the producers of such a program want "drama" for ratings. AkAngel also has some good insights...that you have no control of what goes into the final cut of the program.

It is brave and commendable that you want to take on this issue and share it in a TV program, but you must ask yourself if you are willing to settle for whatever the final product may be. It is June 7 as I write this. Let us know what has transpired, and how you are dealing with it.

Thanks for this!
