In today's Ask Amy, a reader seeks advice on how to protect their home from a 'paper avalanche' due to their spouse's hoarding.
I keep ahead of the paper elsewhere in the house, putting it in D’s office to keep the other rooms clear. I intercept the mail so I can throw away the junk immediately.We have hired organizers, but my experience is that the current piles get thinned and filed , but there is no concurrent re-training, and the piles just grow again.
I need advice on how to help with this and to protect myself and our house from the paper avalanche. I worry about fire and bugs, but more about D’s happiness.Dear Buried: Any “decluttering” will only provide a temporary respite – but the positive news is that “D” is somewhat cooperative, although you can see the anxiety brought on by both the problem and its consequences.
You and D should switch all of your accounts to have online access, in order to have your bill paying, utilities, banking, and retirement accounts accessible to both of you at all times – and paperless. This will decrease the amount of paper coming into the house, and should keep both of you on track with bill paying – greatly reducing frustration.
