Apparently, compulsive hoarding is hereditary. My mom compulsively buys and hoards yarns, her brother has boxes and boxes of Merlot and Chardonnay, their mom rather compulsively *doesn't* hoard things and kept an obsessively neat house for years....
This makes me feel rather better about my own collecting issues. Genetics, I can work with. *eyes room distastefully* Genetics are, to an extent, overcomeable, if you recognize them as such.
(Oh, and on the other side, my father compulsively collected non-garbage items people had left outside as trash, and his mom was... well... best not discussed, I think.)
