Hoarders: Shopaholic JUMPS For Joy After Letting Go Of EVERYTHING (S8) | A&E

my name is ruby and everybody calls me mama i  think i'm the worst kind of hoarder must have   lost a pair of shoes in there i can't move in  the house the only way i get in it is to do the   side step turn sideways and scoot my feet side to  side the living room serves no purpose except for   stuff the kitchen has no purpose except to take  over the stuff that the living room can't have   handle at first i was sort of keeping  further control over it but then at one   point i don't know when it just overwhelmed  me that when i went in to try to move stuff   it wouldn't let me move it i'm jessica i'm 20  years old i was raised by ruby she's my great   grandmother she adopted me and my brother  he was nine months old i was four years old i'm jeremy i'm 17 years old my mom has been a  hoarder for as long as i can remember really   but it's starting to get really  bad within the last five years   i didn't really notice it until i got a  little older i started noticing things get   out of hand like the house started filling up  she started running out of places to put things i'm a shopaholic i was spending about  five or six hundred dollars a month   i've cut back a lot i'll put it like that  i go shopping maybe three times a week   and now i try to hide it you know so i  don't let my kids know that i'm shopping i'm lorraine i'm mama's second child i've been  controlling mama's money for approximately three   years i realized that the thrift stores were  getting all of her money shopping is like a   drug for my mom she had absolutely no self-control  whatsoever when i'm shopping it makes me feel good   floating on cloud nine it takes the sadness  away probably see you on friday bye bye mama stuff means everything to her i'm sure but   i hate it i hate the stuff i hate all  this unnecessary clutter i hate the filth   it's just a painful situation to  see mama and jeremy live this way good morning everybody good morning good morning  i'm dorothy brenninger i'm a professional   organizing expert and i specialize in hoarding  we really do want to be clear about there is a   crisis here i mean bottom line we want to pull  out everything from the house so we can examine   whether the rats have gotten to it  whether the mice have gotten to it   ruby is facing adult protective services her  daughter lorraine will call them if this house   isn't cleared because it's simply not safe jeremy  does not need to live in that kind of house   and neither do you we want to create a space  for you too okay it matters well that's why   we're going to get this done without a fight right  without a fight without a fight give me a hand but no fighting okay and here we go this way this can go on the tarp on  the tarp we need to have   manpower woman power to get in here and clear this  stuff out there's so much in it would take months   to pull it all out if we did it just one  or two people at a time this is massive this pile ruby this is what your family members  have proposed as trash this entire pile is   ready to go on the truck oh no y'all didn't  stamps you guys know how much stamps cost   48 cents throw the stamps in the trash what do you  mail and this belongs to something in the kitchen letter finish going through because when  she's done with that box artist gonna go on a   truck we made a huge pile of garbage however she's  trying to tell us that it's a lot of good stuff   but to us it's trash it  just needs to be thrown away   now see here this is a brand new turkey baster  mama please let's get this going see this is   why you were going to happen you guys just come in  indiscriminately and sort of throw themselves away   ruby i'm listening i thought you were accepting  help i am no you're not you're fibbing you're not   okay i lie once ruby was able to see that there  were a number of good things in the first few bags   of things that had been deemed trash it really  set her into a spiral it really broke the trust   this is not the promise you gave your word is  worth nothing you take this chia pet and grow   something your word is worth absolutely  nothing yeah we're not going to be able   to get the house down mom at this and the only  chance we have to get it done is down the drain all this giveaway let's go we said hey jeremy  let's move you into the big room and he's all for   it so he started moving furniture and clearing  things out none of that stuff was cheap jeremy   got to pick what he was going to keep in his  room or not he said it's my room it's my stuff   i'm throwing it away i want to keep stuff and  less stuff's b and all that extra stuff no   he's standing up and he's becoming a man of  the house which is great you've done a great   job i want you to go to the mentality that  you are going from no social life at home   to a whole change for you as a man okay so  go to it good luck see you soon no problem all i want you to do is pull out a few of them  that you're going to keep you can't keep this   many coats i don't want to start here ruby i  don't want to start there ruby this doesn't need   to be a power struggle well i'm not reading  i'm not getting rid of most of these codes   you agreed with dorothy if you want the help  you're going to have to accept the help let's see   if we can work this plan okay ruby is still trying  to control so it's impeding the process i hear you she's got to be able to release the  reins if she is going to be successful   let's just start with one that's a keep now  remember i'm watching to see what you can   discard i want to see the ability to discard  let's speed it up keep my mint coat stays i've always said i had enough  clothes for everybody in the block   but i didn't know i had enough  stuff for this whole cul-de-sac you see it yes big rat big rat the fog of the cloud is beginning to move on out  of my brain it clicks for ruby that she's got to   let things go it's either her stuff or her life  okay stuff the den area threw it in the trash   every bit of it she's throwing  away everything from the den over there i'm thank you mom over there  get it on the truck let's go thank you all this is trash it's beautiful absolutely beautiful so jeremy you've been avoiding coming home  at times and staying out in the streets   probably in places you haven't okay i can't  even let you finish come on straight home   i'm so excited i mean i honestly don't want to go  nowhere now i just want to kick back at the house   look how nice you'll be able to sleep like a  princess or queen tonight oh my god this is   phenomenal that we're going to be able to spend  more time together that i can finally bring my   girls my granddaughters to her house i can't  believe i have floor lorraine and jamie would   you still feel the need to call adult protective  services no not at all this is just awesome oh   thank you thank you our goal was number one create  a safe healthy living space for ruby and jeremy   so that daughters aren't going to call adult  protective services number two give jeremy the   space where he can be at home so he's not on the  streets but studying and having a safe place to   live total total success wow finally we have  a home to come to to enjoy to invite friends   over to have dinner together to play together  look at this your game area look we're ready   to go friday family loves you i feel like i'm  the winner and i dare that mess to come back hi thanks for being a fan of hoarders and   subscribe to a e for more videos and  click the links around me to
