Dear Annie: My elderly mother bought a house on the West Coast to be near my younger brother and me after my father passed away a few years ago. She had always relied on my father to handle finances and major life decisions, so it’s been a difficult adjustment for her to take on these responsibilities herself. Even though she purchased the new house over 18 months ago, she’s still living in her old home on the East Coast, which she hasn’t been able to sell due to my older brother’s severe hoarding problem.
My older brother, who has been living with her, suffers from undiagnosed mental health issues, including anxiety and depression. He’s been unable to hold a steady job, so he’s lived with my parents for years. My older brother lacks insight into his hoarding disorder and doesn’t believe in medicine (i.e., he believes therapy and medication are part of a larger government conspiracy), so there is no hope of him getting the help he needs, despite our attempts to persuade him.
For years, my mother has asked him to move his things out of her East Coast house, but he hasn’t. His mental illness, lack of funds and inability to plan for the future have all contributed to his refusal.
