Professionals try to help people who compulsively hoard possessions.

[rachelandrews]

I feel so bad for Earl, working two jobs your entire life for it to just be squandered away.

[ladylibertywdc]

Restrict cash, cut up her credit & debit cards - declare a financial POA for her as she is incompetent. Resale all those purses. This addiction should never had gotten to this point.

[Eveningbreeze]

Her husband loves her. You can tell. But he seems to just take it and not put his foot down over the years. He said it himself.

[marksullivan]

She burned through their who life savings and is still buying things. That poor man I feel for him.

[createwithkas]

I couldn't help but notice how absolutely striking she was as a young woman! Her smile literally brightened my day ❤ and on that note, I hope they can get it together and fix this mess!

I’m so sad for Theresa that in reality, basically 1 of her purses was authentic, and a low end bag at that. So sad. Someone who has absolutely no knowledge on brands and was probably easily talked into buying fakes. All that money gone.

[SammieKCIAFFFLLTGF]

I get the impression that the problems with Theresa started long before the hoarding. Her family members seem so defeated and exhausted. There's definitely trauma there.

[saraojala]

They should have just had a massive garage sale and would have most likely made more than $350. Even if they sold each purse for $1 they would have done better.

[kayotica]

It breaks my heart seeing people shop so much and they don't even wear it :/ you can see the pain in their soul they aren't being greedy they are just hurting

[lilcheeks]

The husband's face when he heard $350 🤣🤣🤣

[jennifergraham]

He sent her so much money at a time, never restricted her spending. He contributed to her hoarding by allowing her to spend all their money.

[angelawahr]

She should give that$350 to her poor husband

[nelks]

Mr. Earl sure seems to be a kind hearted man, and good looking to boot!

[susieries]

So she spent $112, 000 and got $350 for some purses she probably spent $5000 on .Her poor foolish husband- sending her $5000 at a

[dr.leeaberle]

His face when the $350 was mentioned.

He feels pushed into a corner. Sad.

[jenrich]

$112, 000 dollars in a year!? That's $pending $2154 a week filling the hole in one's soul. Grief and loss really take a toll on us. She lost 3 family members suddenly.

[miltoncat]

She pretty much left him when she moved to Alabama without him. I’d never leave my husband like that.

[Allinmyworld]

That house is too big for her alone and seems like a bigger issue at hand if her husband isn't with her and kept sending her money. I mean he never questioned her needing $5, 000 then another $5, 000? that's a lot of money in a short amount of time

[clairebrown]

What an absolute adorable couple, it was great to see them holding hands and cuddling. I hope they continue to work on their home and Theresa continues to get the help she needs. It would be great if the team could go back and revisit with the families to share their progress 🥰

[bettyhudson]

This woman has truly been blessed with a forgiving and loving husband ❤
