Hoarders: Before & After: Plant Lover Collects 250 Types of Cacti | A&E

that would make nice ground cover  wouldn't it i'm carrie and i love plants   that's pretty when i see things grow i feel like  god you find everything you were hoping for oh   gosh yeah because i've created this i'm cassandra  and carrie is my father he at one point had over   250 different types of cacti in the house the  plants became more important than the people were i'm peggy and carrie is my ex-husband oh  my lord i hate ebay it was addictive to him   the thrill of getting a bid you know and  just didn't matter if he needed it or not   it was i won i buy things that look like i'd  be able to resale and make a profit for myself   i got some really cool stuff oh anybody  need a sleeping bag yeah for you   he's probably spent over thirty thousand  dollars and i think he told me he sold   something for a hundred dollars and the  rest that's his inventory that's his future i worked in icus and mother baby units and places  where i could actually help people and do what   i've been trained to do and when i got out i felt  empty and alone he loved the military i think the   structure made him feel worth something and  when he retired he lost his way completely when we would clean we would move stuff he would  get really angry and he goes into rages that   are scary one time i became abusive when kerry  goes into his rages he doesn't have any control   it's really hard because i love caring and i  always will but i can't be anyone's verbal or   physical punching bag and i thought  the only answer was to get divorced   the first year and a half there wasn't a night  that i went to bed without crying myself to sleep so i want to start with carrie in the living  room just to see what he's willing to get rid of   is there anything carrie in your line of  view that you think could go i really want   to keep the gurney i can set things on  it and move it from point it to point b   so there's a gurney in your front room do  we need you don't have one in your friend is there a reason why we can't use maybe  a wheelbarrow or something else logically   speaking what the heck do you need a gurney phone  but it does actually make a logical sense to me so how's it going it's going okay i think one  cause for concern is that you want to sell   i'd say most things you know i  purchased this because i want to sell it   and that's what i want to do this stuff  is not going to be sold you're not going   to sell anything you haven't in 10 years i  haven't tried exactly and you're not going to i'm trying to be cool i have a standard in my mind  this is what i bought it for the standard 5 000   no of got me right here you're  standing help me through the   don't don't hit me with a baseball  bat just go with work with me he really does go from zero to 60 and  his temper is extreme i don't want to say   take it because i have to live with myself  mm-hmm okay you want your grandkids over here   do you leave the phone given carrie's emotional  volatility and his difficulty in actually   working with his daughter it's going to be really  difficult for him to make it through this process   at some particular point in time he's  going to have to allow some trust   i want to keep okay we'll set it aside  we'll talk about it later but i don't   want to sit and worry about it right  now okay because there's too much of it i have no desire to hold on to what could [ __  ] me i want to make sure that i'm understanding   that you've had this revelation and that you  don't want to sell i'm happy that these things   are going to go the fact that they're going to  habitat for humanity is to me it's like what   a blessing you know i'm cool with it who you do  have to thank is peg for offering you the idea of   habitat for humanity coming there's a lot of love  between you too and that's something to celebrate   so with that being said uh let's get  started what do you say let's do it do we need to go through every little thing in  that box i don't even know what's there just   take it can it be donated or do i use it donate it  fabulous how about this can this go yeah he's kind   of turned his back on his family for so long can  we say goodbye yeah the sacrifice he's making now   is kind of making up for that give it to  somebody that needs it donate it makes   me feel like i might be able to get my carry  back history baby okay donate you are rocking it mom went to walk in and she slammed the door here's carrie clean shaven and his hair's nice i  just thought it wouldn't be appropriate to have   old women come in my house without being married  to him you look great so let's go forward and   do what we forgot to do the last  time is this a marriage proposal   we belong together i've loved him since  i was 19. it's like a fairytale ending   peg do you remember how this room looked yeah i  remember there was a gurney right about here yeah   there was it was like a light bulb went off in  his head and said you know all this crap doesn't   matter one little bit i want my family i love them  and i care about them what do you think there's no   plan and he couldn't have said it any louder than  if he'd have climbed to a mountain and screamed it it's been remarkable to watch carrie's  rapid transformation and it appears that   his prognosis and the family's prognosis is  excellent they've really come together they've   really reprioritized what matters to all of them  which is being together when you look at it now   what do you see a future hi thanks for being a fan of  hoarders and subscribe to
