Is it too late to start a GoFundMe for this family to keep their house? I've been bawling my eyes out for 20 mins! Sending positive vibes their way!
Pp
Absolutely love this show!! Some of these house are crazy too see?!.
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
At least he got to see his house looking beautiful again before he passed.
Elvira Laveau Right! 😃
💜 TRUTH, AMEN. MAY DAVE REST IN PEACE 🙏 ESPECIALLY NOW, AWAY FROM CAROL & HER HOARD.
I’m halfway through the episode I didn’t know he died yet 🥺 please say his kids own the house and not her
He passed away?
@@shawnruth7946 💜 SADLY YES 😥 BUT NOT BEFORE HE SAW HIS BEAUTIFUL HOME CLEANED AGAIN. HE WAS ABLE TO STAY IN IT A LITTLE WHILE TOO BEFORE HE PASSED ON.
MAY GOD BLESS DAVID 🙏🤗😇💜
The house was sold, the liens and back taxes were paid with the proceeds. The new homeowner has trimmed the trees, replaced broken pipes, installed a new roof and air conditioner. It will be restored to it's original beauty thankfully.
Thank the LORD 🙏🏻
So it wasn't about the house itself it was about the tragedy of people involved not the tragedy of the house.
oh thank goodness! When I saw the windows and the views from the house my heart hurt.
Thank you for the extending story of the property
Oh thank goodness...
After the episode was over, I couldn't help like Carol played everyone, including the Hoarder's staff. Her step children were ready to dump her at the beginning of the episode. But then she played the victim the entire episode, acted like her hoarding was a symptom of guilt and not of selfishness, only listened to the family member that was the furthest from the situation (but hey it created the illusion that she was open to listening), and then at the end everyone accepted her again. But here's the thing: She never actually changed. She played the part for five minutes. But then went back to her victim playing when the husband talked to her.
And then she refused her husband life support and finally displayed who she really was. Just a vile, selfish person.
Narcissistic at its finest
The fact that the sons wife told her what everyone been wanting to say made me feel a little better...
@@efrainsierrasanchez1140 YEEES! Son's wife was spot on. I wanted to kick her selfish, opportunistic behind across Ferguson!
She refused his life support???????
Hoarding is actually a mental illness. She needs help from a professional. Don't dog her
This episode broke my heart. The family lost everything, not Carol, she didn't care one bit.
@Jane O'Leary I doubt it
@Jane O'Leary I know you didn’t make it up. I’m just saying I personally don’t think she killed the first wife
@@OliveAbyss75719 I don't think she did either, more like she took advantage of the situation
@Jane O'Leary I think she talked her into killing herself knowing that she had depression! Because right after Bev died she moved on in. The kids should of kicked her out long ago!
What made me mad the most is the fact after the first wife died she used her money and drove her car like it was hers..she just has a bad attitude
They only cleaned up, they didn't fix the problem. Carol was still a hoarder.
@infinityrose92 I figured Carol was too old by that point to amass another junk collection.
@@JR-bj3uf I don't think age can stop a hoarder!
She looks too physically fragile to go shopping. Hopefully she does not watch QVC or know how to use a computer. How very sad. And tragic her husband did not get to enjoy the clean up, the freedom from the hoard for very long. NO ONE deserves a lifetime let alone 1 single day of that!
I think all of the hoarders get set up with counselors. That seems to be the MO of the show.
Yeah, at the end she says "we'll see what happens" like Trump when he's got private plans.
After watching the episode, I'm confused about something. Prior to filming, Carol had moved out of the house and was living with her son (leaving poor Dave with her mess, no utilities, and a heavily mortgaged house). If I were Dave's family, I would have considered her hoard abandoned and cleaned out the house without her input or permission. To me, she forfeited any right to have a say in the process when she left. Perhaps the family didn't know she'd moved out or Dave wasn't comfortable cleaning out her junk because he loved her, I don't know.
I was wondering about that too. Could have thrown out 20 bags a week or something??
I believe the family was cleaning the house and disposing of items before the show got involved. They spent many months cleaning the outside of the house and got that in decent condition, however due to health issues (back surgery, I think) with one son, who seemed to be the driving force, the family realized it was a much bigger task than they could do alone. I don't think the show could move forward without her as she is an owner of the house and all of the hoard was hers. Might have caused a law suit and considering what a thieving snake she is, there probably would have been one. Besides, the show is called Hoarders, I'm sure they would not want to be called out for going against the premise of the show.
@@audreylewis56 she didn't own the house. The show insisted she be involved for the filming... Probably because they knew it'd be big drama.
@@audreylewis56 financially hoarders was probably the best option considering how much work and the amount of people it t took to get the house to pass inspection
@@audreylewis56 she didn’t own the home, just the items she cluttered with, she only technically would bc of the marriage. even then she left before that willingly so she forfeited her right to any ownership. but i agree, you’re right.
Carol is the OG finesse. Whether Be was killed or not Carol managed to finesse her way into a good man, a good life, good money, and a beautiful home and squandered it all... she was never Be's friend she was her enemy and wanted to be her.
It’s pretty sad that Dave passed away and the family was unable to afford to keep the house.
From what I've heard the new owner replaced plumbing, the roof, etc. to restore it to it's original beauty while also keeping it functional
@@StainedBrain but the family still got screwed over hard. This house could still be in their family, but carol took out a second mortgage and spent all of the money
@@StainedBrain Good for the new owner, not for the family.
Disrepair aside that home is breathtaking. Warm vibes from the entire place.
Charmingpreppylife Yes, it’s gorgeous!!!
It is, but those stairs give me the conjuring vibes 😬
as it was before carol was in the picture! no amount of adjectives could ever describe how grimy of a human she is.
It’s a real shame they had to sell it not long after they finished cleaning. Makes me real sad
OK so this is only a mini caption of what happened in the show. This has to be one of the juiciest episodes of hoarders I’ve ever seen, I’ll give you a rundown. Dave had this house with his first wife Be and their children, it was the jewel of the neighborhood and they had lots of parties there. Be suffered from bipolar disorder and wound up checking herself out of a mental facility and went home and hanged herself. Carol with the kids music teacher when they were young, and she infiltrated Dave and B’s social circle and became really good friends with them. When Be died Carol moved in almost immediately and began to look after Dave. She started to drive Carol’s car, and use Carol’s credit cards! Within two years Dave and Carol got married, the son didn’t go to the wedding. Carol started to accumulate stuff and the family couldn’t even come into the house. Carol wind up leaving Dave after all the money was used up (meanwhile she was funneling money from her and Dave’s joint checking account to her own private accounts). Dave now in bad health is stuck to only the couch which is barely accessible and he has to move in with his son. Because the house is about to be condemned the family is trying to make some changes. Carol not to be confused with Carol Baskins doesn’t want to let any of the trash go, and it’s revealed that she sold bees vintage convertible that was to be given to her granddaughter when she was 16 years old to support her hoarding habit. At the end of the show it shows them moving back in together, but Dave had health issues shortly after the show and wound up dying. Carol refused aftercare and was kicked out of the house. Unfortunately the family had to sell the house because the expenses of the repairs were too much. Did I mention that Carol refinanced the home and took out a second mortgage on the home and was not willing to sell the home that she owned and use her Social Security to help with this home that she ruined. During the whole episode Carol was one of the worst characters I’ve ever seen on hoarders. She had no remorse and a terrible terrible attitude. She in my opinion was one of the nastiest people I’ve seen on the show.
Now that I told you the facts I’m gonna tell you what I think happened, I think that Carol killed be in some sort of lifetime twisted movie way. She had her eyes on Dave and their lifestyle and took advantage and then she came and took B’s place. Her attitude about the basement were being hung her self was so callous that I can’t believe otherwise. None of this has been proven by the way, and is only my opinion
Thanks for the info
this episode made me think: can psychopaths be hoarders?
@@angellmagri2162 psychosis and trauma are often triggers for hoarding
Your a great storyteller ....I was all in it😂😂😂
@@shariberry3123 do you mean Carol. B was the first wife and didn't do any hoarding or anything except have mental health issues (sadly passing away).
Carol is the worst one I've see yet. Very evil and downright criminal. She used Dave's dead wife's credit cards after she died, mortgaged the house, not once, but twice. Then want's to leave the payments and hoard to Dave and the family? Not to mention all the chaos and family turmoil she's caused that family. Holy smokes, vile.
I'm just watching this now and I can't fathom why they even let Carol have a say in the clearance. She literally sucked the life out of that poor man and then abandoned him to expire in the filth she created. They should have just thrown her in the first dumpster and got on with it. Good on the daughter for finally speaking out though.
Yes, the daughter-in-law and granddaughter finally had the opportunity (after at least 20 years) to express to Carol their anger, resentment, and sadness about the entire situation. That was a victory for them both! But in the end, Carol was unmoved and just walked away.
She was actually a villain.
My father literally brings garbage home then throws our beautiful and expensive things away, to make space for it, like throwing away a porcelain vase and replacing it with a plastic container like wtf.
I watch hoarders when I need motivation to clean & organize. Lol
Same! That’s exactly what I’m doing today
That's a good idea!
This also is my motivation, I am moving soon. Right now, I am going to clothes and all my stuff and only keeping the bare minimum. !!
@@sarahbewley362 : Good luck on your move!
When I watch Hoarders it has the exact opposite effect on me!! I'm like compared to THAT my mess is not bad at all! Just gonna sit here and watch 2 more hours of tv and putt off cleaning my house.
I'd recently been part of a team who cleared a home left to the Chruch by an member who passed during Covid lockdown. By surprise the yard and front room where she greeted guest was in prefect order. Everything pass that room looked like this. A sea of waist deep belongings. Many visited her over years. No one ever knew. After floor repairs a beautiful 4bedroom ranch showed itself. Wish she could have seen it again. Love this Show.
Rest in Peace Dave... what a sweet man. :(
I can’t get over how much money has been lost in that house 😮
and in the end, that family lost their family home because of her! It had to be sold
@@joannebuckner2563 I think she felt nothing because it wasn't hers
They took out 31 tons of items. At over $1000 per ton, that would be at least $31,000. Also, they had to pay people to clean and re-organize the place.
@@vshah1010 😨😰🥵
I used to work for a house cleaning service in the St Louis area and I've seen these old houses. The architecture is just incredible. So beautiful.
Even before reading Stephanie Loves' very informative comment-- shouldn't be hard to find for anyone who's curious-- I thought there was something very off about Carol. That comment at the end of the clip, "we'll see what happens," in combination with that dead-eyed stare just gave me the shivers.
A Big Thanks to every single person who worked so hard to make this a home again!
This episode was absolutely wild. So many more questions beyond the hoarding.
I have never felt so much angry towards a hoarder on this show before, this woman was pure evil!! She stole the family home and destroyed it and ran through the kids inheritance as well! She had no remorse and only cared for herself.
Why were they such patsys? When does one recognise dysfunction and put a stop to it. Too nice. Really uninformed about what healthy behavior is.
How dare you criticize this poor woman!!! She didn't do this on purpose. It's a sickness, along with depression that causes some people to be like this. My mom came from a poor country with no money, and when she moved to Canada my father suddenly started making some money, not alot, but to a point where she was able to afford good and material things that she never had.
There are also other people who have deep depression and end up buying things which makes them feel better for awhile. Don't criticize people who you know nothing about. Sweep your own doorstep first!
@@telenearoberto4997 Watch the entire episode so you’ll understand why people despise her.
@@vickyvale8675 were can i get full episode please linda in scotland
@@telenearoberto4997 she knows what she was doing and did not want to take responsibility.
Idk but I felt like she killed her best friend and felt guilt about it for years
right the story behind it & with the money she's been taking is just weird
Facts lol she dropped all the hints and they still didn't get it
This episode really got to me… Man, Dave’s granddaughter, Mary, is an amazing young lady… she has a knack for this. Mary, if you ever read this please let me know what you will be doing for a career because you were excellent with Carol… I was so mad at Carol throughout the whole episode until you gave her your blessing… I can’t imagine what you and your family went through, especially you, knowing Carol sold that car that was to be yours… also, I think you said it best when you told her she was trying to hold on to heirlooms with goodwill stickers on them when that car was the actual family heirloom… your parents must be so proud of you… Way to go. I’m so happy you got to have a little celebration in that house. I hope your grandpa was able to spend some nice days in the restored home also…
Hello there! It's me, I transitioned to male shortly after filming Hoarders with my family. I currently work at a plant nursery in St.Louis City but I have had a CONSIDERABLE amount of viewers reach out to me and tell me I need to go into psychology lol. For now, I'm studying horticulture and using my gifts to help the Catholic Archdiocese of St.Louis become more inclusive to the LGBTQIA+ community in our city. That birthday will always remain one of if not the most special birthday I've ever had. I feel so incredibly blessed to have been able to share that experience in that beautiful home before we had to let go of it. After seeing all of the old family photos of events and dinners and parties being held there, I always imagined what it must have felt like being there. I really felt at home and at peace at that table. And I could feel my Grandma Be sitting with me. I wish I could've known her.... Anyway, Carol has since passed away and my family has finally been able to really move on. Selling the house was incredibly painful but we really just couldn't afford the rent, renovations, and upkeep. The house has been restored and is currently on the market. It is so so beautiful, the flippers did an incredible job restoring the house. Everyone in the family is still doing really well, exceptionally better in fact. Peace is an amazing thing.
@@matthewhalloran9817 Matthew, I am so happy for you…. I think anything you do in life will be amazing because you have an amazing heart. The house is beautiful and whoever buys it I hope make amazing memories in it. I wish you well in your life’s journey… you really are truly amazing.
@@donnahague8983 Thank you so so much. We truly appreciate all the love and support we have received since the episode aired. I also appreciate everyones love and faith in me. It's given me a lot more confidence for sure!
@@matthewhalloran9817 I´m so happy that you and your family are doing great now, I wish you the best and I think that your grandma is very proud of you. It´s really infuriating all that this woman did to your family and well, we have our theories about her in the comments, and she got many of us really really mad. But the important thing is that if it´s past for you and you healed and you are happy now; that´s what´s really important, keep going with that lovely attitude in life!!!
My aunt was a hoarder, but one of those “tidy” hoarders, if you can call them that... she had everything organized... if someone she knew was mentioned in the paper, she would buy up every paper in town!
My mom has hoarding tendencies... she buys every “gadget” on the shopping network, and never wants to throw anything out. Even if it’s broken, she says she’ll “glue it back together” but she never does.
I’ve become a minimalist... I say “you can love stuff, but stuff can’t love you back”.
My mom is the same!! Going into the house everything is fine and organized, but she can't get rid of anything. She had my Dad built little shelves between the joists down in the back of the basement that holds baby food jars full of buttons. Every jar has its own colour. It's quite amazing, but she doesn't need buttons!! lol I'm not looking forward to cleaning out that house when the time comes!
My MIL was a "tidy hoarder". We took 8 tons of trash out of her house when she died. (She owned a rancher)
@@mrs.garrett1868 😳 OMGOSH, I FEEL SO SORRY FOR YOU & YOUR HUSBAND HAVING TO DEAL WITH ALL THAT. I CANNOT IMAGINE! NOW THAT I'M OLDER, IT'S ALL GOING. I'M WATCHING THESE SHOWS, SAYING TO MYSELF, I WON'T DO THAT TO MY CHILDREN. NO MORE BUYING STUFF. IT ALL GOES! SO EITHER GIVING IT AWAY OR DONATING IT. GREAT MOTIVATION AT LEAST, LOL 😆😊
It's so interesting how kids of hoarders (no matter the scale of severity) tend to be very minimalist when on their own. My mom is so bad about buying stuff for "future gifts" and so reluctant to "throw away something that could be given to someone" that I'm very adamant about being as minimalist as possible, no "storing" things in closets or attics to be forgotten, everything I own is out in the open with a place. Not that it stops my mom trying to "fill my house up" when she visits 🙄
Tell her to let you sell some of the stuff so she could use the money to buy more stuff. It might work. Let her pick out stuff to sell while you have another family member go through and take the obscure items to be resold. Put the money you made on her utility bills, medication and for groceries and periodically give her some of the money for her to spend as she wish. By doing this you might eventually come to a point when the clutter is greatly reduced.
So sad that the gentleman passed so soon after filming and only got to enjoy his home again for such a short time.
okay but can we appreciate matthew from this episode.. he was incredible
Yes! She was amazing!
Mary is a saint. Like she said she was just trying to recover what little was left of her heritage. She was so angry and upset that Carol sold her vintage car but she still helped her go through her piles of trash. I wanted to hug Mary the whole time I was watching.
I’d love to contact Mary, how could I ? , please let me know
Yall dont realize mary was trans? they were wearing a binder, had a trans hat, and a short haircut... anyways
@@edengonzalez1470 I don't see what that has to do with the fact that she was the only person that could get through to her and get the house cleaned.
Carol is not only an extreme hoarder but she's also a narsiccist and shows clear signs and indication of being either a pyschopath or a sociopath. It's obvious from the beginning and not too hard to figure that one all out.
I thought the same thing -- so Meghan Markle-like!!!
@@lorrainegunn4111 lorraine, calm down. That is an erratic thing to say.
@@lorrainegunn4111 lol. How on earth did you manage to shoehorn Markel into this?
@@lorrainegunn4111 lol what? Y’all really hate the fact Meghan not pretending to be who y’all want her to be.

"Carol's mansion"?? That was Dave's house he had with his former wife Be! Reading the comments has been eye-opening. RIP Dave. Carol can rot!!
Exactly!!!!
Rude
@@valerieburnett8930 Watch the video & read the comments.
@@valerieburnett8930 yep. They have no facts
@@chloscorner what video, you don't mean this video, maybe the full version, why would you be telling someone to read comments for truth? Anything can sound good if you don't know anything about it in the first place. Who cares who home it is, the shows about hoarding not money, why mist of you make it something else? If your marry and your the guy regardless of law, wouldn't you want your wife or partner to have whatever you have ?
Carol sickens me. She’s a vulture, a scavenger of the lowest order. She took advantage of that man’s grief, drained that poor man’s bank accounts dry, destroyed a beautiful family home, and then skipped off into the sunset without so much as a by your leave. It was clear from the get-go what she was doing and it was glossed over when she was called out on her theft and fraud.
I genuinely hope she gets what’s coming to her.
The WORST OF THE WORST!!!!! Not sorry at all whatsoever for anything. No caring. No compassion. A real sociopath.
Alex Tutorov you do realise it’s a mental illness?
Sociopathic.
@@GothicaBeauty As a victim of mental illness: she extreme hoarder - had no problem selling all of the valuable staff of first wife (the kids mother) over the years. She banned kids coming to this house so for 18 years old grandkid - it was the first time coming to this house. No to mention taking a mortgage of her husband house, spending all his money. When asked is she was willing to use some of her Social Security to pay of the debt she made, she flat out told that she use this money for her own HOME - where her son lives.
@@GothicaBeauty Ive known mentally ill people and they weren’t mean and cruel. Mean is a choice.
' A space for Carol to do her thing' What ? trash the place and make everybody miserable again ?
My thoughts exactly!😒
Does anyone else wonder if Carol may have been an indirect cause of Bee's suicide? Especially when her granddaughter confronted Carol about her taking advantage of Bee and the home. Carol's expressions were always strange, and I caught that she was SMILING like a creep when she explained she moved in.. I thought that moment was weird and gave me the creeps...
I told my husband I would not be a bit surprised if she had something to do with that suicide... As far as emotional manipulation to somebody who was already struggling.
I feel the same
I was somewhat expecting them to say she killed her….
Definitely.
Couldn’t be more obvious!
I'm just always shocked because I've lived a life of poverty. I can barely buy essentials and yet there are people who have enough disposable income to hoard things they don't need nor even ever use...
Hoarding is an "equal opportunity" mental illness for a variety of reasons, and affects all races, nationalities, ages, levels of income and lifestyle.
There are poor hoarders. They bring home trash and stuff they find in dumpsters
Most hoarders are poor.
@@hevski1055 No, the majority are not poor. Having a comfortable or well-to-do life style makes it affordable for people to buy and/or accumulate "stuff", and they certainly do. For example, on the HSN and QVC shopping channels on TV, compulsive shoppers are called "power shoppers". Sounds much better, right?
It's also a "hidden" disease -- behind closed doors and drawn drapes, family, friends and neighbors never know or see the hoarding within.
My MiL is a hoarder. She buys stuff she can’t afford with money she doesn’t have to waste and then doesn’t have money for needs. It’s an illness
I think this was only possible by keeping the couple away. NO WAY would a hoarder allow them to remove that much stuff without fighting and arguing over every tiny item. But they did a great job with still keeping knickknacks and hobbies for them, hobbies that might actually be fulfilled, not lofty goals that go past the person's remaining lifespan and would probably take two more generations to complete.
Fluffymiyster If you watch the shows, just keeping the hoarder away and having others clean it up is a huge no-no, as they say repeatedly. And yes, they do usually argue and fight to keep stuff all the way. They have help with the owners permission, and can delegate things by saying get rid off all the baskets, all the board games except whatever, any clothe with mouse droppings, or to clean after, but if the hoarders don’t participate, often being asked to physically put things on the garbage truck themselves if able. they will just re-hoard in a few years, and feel very upset by others removing their items. Someone else doing it all is like taking all the alcohol out of an alcoholics house, and thinking this helps.
@@Itried20takennames No, I don't agree with it in most cases. I say keeping the person fully aware of just how much they're still trying to keep is better, so they can quantify it with the space of the house and any numerous projects and how long said ideas have been waiting around all to never come to fruition. Maybe that first part is being a bit lofty but the second one I've seen have more success (a person can only do so much in a lifetime and as wr get older, we slow down so we don't have time to accomplish a laundry list of hefty projects).
But in some cases, I also feel that if there's an important deadline hanging in the balance, it's best to try to get the person to allow a trusted relative or friend to help sort things without them there. The therapy to stop the hoarding can be done after and likely, more will need to be removed anyways. Those items will be good to lend themselves to practice because I agree, without the person actually being made to confront the issue and handle the decision-making, it's just going to repeat.
I think sometimes they just got into the trap and couldn’t get out anymore. This is a fresh start.
Personally, I think that's the best way to handle it, send the hoarders to a motel for a month, do the work, bring them back and they get a after care person to counsel and keep things tidy. I can hear the ol' lady, great!! let's go to some garage sales and get stuff!
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley Not really. The problem could also be them repressing the pain they have caused to others in the family too. So, them helping with the clean up hopefully allows them them to feel remorse and not do that again.
Carol did not deserve that family's grace. I pray they are all healthy and happier now.
The crew of this show has always been A+ kind and classy. Great job.
There is no excuse for what Carol put this family through, she should have been kicked out long ago!
carol is another type of evil. she took advantage of a grieving husband, destroyed his home, spent all his money, and left him to wither away in the mess she created. that man deserved so much more. rip dave 🤍
Please someone tell me that any funds he had left after this awful creature conned him went to his children and NOT to her. I seriously hope they were his beneficiaries on his life insurance.
Thats because she is a malignant narcissist.
Totally agree. What a disgusting person
Carol has a mental disorder and it looks like it was massive!!! She need to get big help with it long ago..maybe her husband..a very wonderful man he seems to be.....just didn't know how to stop her or get help long before it erupted into a huge volcano in that gorgeous house!!! Wow...sad but thankfully will not happen again!!!
@@trishkosky7966 I doubt she'd truly admit she has a problem, which is the first step in treating addictions. I doubt she'd agree to long-term treatment.
I would really love to have ALL those books and establish a local Library here in our place in the Philippines. I really love books. No matter how old they get the story has that same magical touch.
I thought the same, books are always good, you don't have to throw them away
The people in your country deserve more than rat infested eaten up books. Need fresh new books
No, you can’t keep them. Books & other paper items get urine from vermin on them & become a health hazard. It looks so bad to see so many books & board games & things like that being tossed, but they really have to go. They can’t be cleaned. 🥲😔
Just watched this episode and Mary… you are truly a gem. I hope you use your clam but in control, trusting nature, and positive understanding of people to go on and help others who are in need. You have a natural talent.
Thank you so much, this really means the world.
I think Carol played devil's advocate with Be's depression and manipulated her to take her life though she physically didn't do it she definitely had her hand in it
I think the same.
She was gaslighting and guilt tripping the whole episode. “Well it’s my fault”, “I don’t deserve this”, “what credit union”? Lol that family needed a little more help with letting her know what it is. Because I think while they were frustrated with her, they also let it go since she was there with the family for so long. Seeing that house restored kind of made them forget all the stuff she’s done in that moment.
I honestly was wondering the same thing after seeing how hateful of a person she was
@Jossy Townes, MBA there definitely is 😢 I hope they find out what Carol (& maybe Dave) did. I know they must have found some evidence on the 2nd & 3rd floor since Carol was super triggered about them cleaning there. Justice for Be!!!
Because of her rotton attitude and toxic language, I'm certain she encouraged Be's mental decline as best she could.
“We’ll see what happens.” Oh no you don’t, Carol! No shopping for you!
God bless him. He was able to see a change before he died, he went in peace. 😇😇💯
He seemed to be so sweet 💙
I'm just so sad for that poor family, what an incredible loss for all of them. There's so much I wish I could do for them. It's just heart wrenching to watch all that happened to them. I've personally experienced something quite similar and it damages families forever.
Pinterest is a good place for hoarders (as a part of therapy, I mean) - they can collect whatever they want there without physically cluttering the house.
Yes! I discovered that for myself. I’m not a hoarder, but I do have a little too much stuff so now I save photos of the things I want instead. 👍
The fewer things you accumulate through life, the happier you’ll be.
just goes to show how unhappy of a person she is. disgusting.
This is why I want a tiny home!!!
So true
" there's space for Carole to do her thing"? Lol! Carol's "thing'' is to hoard.....she now has more space to fill ROTFL
This house, husband, and the story reminds me so much of the kids movie "Monster House"
I thought the same !! that's crazy
Carol wanted Bes life. She was jealous and spent all of Dave's money. Shame and she knew she was wrong... RIP DAVE AND B TOGETHER AGAIN
Her last statement was a threat. Now he's dead, too.
I notice they had separate beds all along. She doesn't appear to care about him at all.
I have a separate bed (side by side though) because I'm a light sleeper and spouse thrashes. It ain't always an indication of lack of care, sometimes it's just sheer practicality.
A lot of older people sleep in separate beds
She was never going to stay.
She took(stole his money), she should have been prosecuted.
She knew what she was doing from the very beginning.
She was probably whispering in his first wife's ear and helped her to take her life by feeding her depression
How long were they married ? I took a long time to stack all that mess up. Many years of mental illness.
I think the first wife caught them together and being as she was already clinically depressed it was just too much to bear...
It's not illegal to "take" your husband's money.
@@DD-d6d3 True, and if this guy is cheating with his first wife. Then he deserved it.
I agree
It’s crazy cuz even with that hoard in it i could tell that house was gorgeous
Carol: We'll see what happens. It's a journey.
Translation: I'll probably start hoarding again as soon as the cleaning crew and cameras leave. 🙄
This whole episode was pretty sad, especially the ending.
I know right? I just watched this episode not too long ago and it made me furious how selfish and manipulative she is. Especially in the end. I'm glad the family cut all ties with her.
what happened?
Caitlin Clark the father died so kids gave up on her
Yup I saw the episode too and she was just so heartless towards her husbands children and wouldn’t help the family with putting some $ towards the $3200 they were behind on payments. She said she was happy to go live w her son basically not her concern. The family wanted to keep the house within the family but because they couldn’t afford it they had to sell it. I think she also sold a car that was intended for the granddaughter
CricketTV oh ok thank you so much!
2 of the rooms look like they were just like “oh well close enough”
Roflmao close enough😂😃😅
Let’s take a moment to appreciate all of the effort people put in just to save someone else’s home :)
This episode made me so angry. I really tried hard to bear in mind that Carol had mental health issues of her own and needed help too, but in the end that cannot excuse the absolute depth and breadth of her despicable nature and the fact that this went on for decades. Every time she complained it was all about how she was being picked on and how this was affecting her. She took advantage of a grieving widow. I truly don't wish her harm and I hope she got help but she brought this whole thing on herself.
I feel so awful for Dave. What a wonderful adorable little man😍
Watch the entire episode. Extremely emotional. Carol is one of the most unlikable people I have ever seen on this show. Mary, the step-granddaughter, is a beautiful soul, a rare gem.
She seems like a genuinely bad person. I hope when family members confronted her about how she hurt them that they were doing it to heal themselves because she clearly doesn't care.
Yes she was! She was. Fantastic girl and Carol was trying her best to hurt her!! Glad they are free forever from her cruelty!
I'm a minimalist...you can probably guess what my emotions are right now looking at this.
Anyone else watching these to not feel so bad while taking a break from their own spring cleaning? One motivator is potentially finding things of value that can be sold or things of value you thought you lost. It becomes a treasure hunt.
When she said at the end, "So. We'll see what happens..." giving a downright sinister look over the top of her glasses...there should've been very different background music. Probably screaming Hitchcockian violins or Twilight Zone.
Maybe the Vincent Price horror movie laugh. It would be entirely appropriate.
dorothy is the best. she’s positive and motivating yet assertive.
She's an angel.
I don’t know why but I find her to be so obnoxious. She over steps her boundaries a lot. She’s a wannabe therapist. 😏
Suzy B I wonder why they don’t bring in a mental health professional. Because these poor people need help.. maybe they get help off screen
@@booknexem8733 They are always offered aftercare (therapy counseling and/or professional organizing assistance) following the cleanup, but whether they accept such help is another thing.
Babawali I didn’t know that! Thanks for the info :)
I went with my wife to her mother in laws house. There was a 10" wide deer path thru the rooms. We went to the kitchen where she was making us coffee. She said have a seat. The kitchen table was piled 2 feet high with stuff. Chairs were piled with magazines and the like. My wife sat on books that were sliding around. I stood. No place to put a coffee cup down. We went up the deer path stairs so she could show us something but she could not find it. Later when she died, dumpsters like this video were filled and dumped. She took nothing with her to her grave.
"We'll see what happens. It's a journey." TOTAL DENIAL!!!
This lady is even crazier in real life thankfully I’ve never met her but other people I know have
Rip Dave you will be missed
I have personally met Dorthy the organizer, and she is a wonderful life changer for people trapped in their stuff prisons.
Its actually impressive how much that frail old lady could acquire
This is my family. Carol is my step-grandma. Dave jr. Is my dad. I wasn't even told this was happening or I would have been there! I remember this house being like this ever since I was a kid.. in the 90s. I'm glad grandpa got to finally see it cleaned up again, the way it should be.
Yes the house is lovely, I hope someone in the family helps your grand father & step grandma hire some one to come in & clean once a week. When folks need help they often are too embarrassed to ask. I had to start cleaning my parents home when she turned 50, her eyesight was getting bad and other health issues. My brothers went over & did yard work . I did inside every Saturday morning. Two years later we hired a maid service for them as a Christmas present. We still did our Saturday morning ritual until they passed away. But hospice helped then too.
My grandfather died Sept 9th 2019 shortly after filming this, and Carol moved out. The house was sold sadly.
@@KK-zb6bw Aww I am so sorry for your loss. At least he was very happy with his home before he passed away. Sad that the home sold, but Carol needed a smaller space the place was too big for one person to keep up.
What? You don't visit your family at all? How could you not know? Im not saying its your fault but don't lie
@@bringdaruckusss5408 that was what I thinking.
That it was crazy that "you" didnt know..... it's a little werid that all ur other "family members " knew... something doesn't sound rite..... hmm..
i love this mansion! gives off such old timey vibes with all the decor
I remember this episode. This woman is sinister. The type of person no amount of therapy or help will change.
Dave seems like such a fantastic guy. A former fireman with the honor of being assistant chief and captain, his office space was a hobbyist's dream room with a work desk, paint case, and memorabilia of his past excellence in service to Ferguson--helmets, ax and lanterns.
This sort of broke my heart because they got their place cleaned up on their lives' final hour instead of doing so many years before when they didn't need walking sticks and oxygen canisters.
Oh look at those 6-panel doors!!! And the built-ins!! The floors!
I'm SWOONING!!!
I would have just thrown everything away. She has the worse attitude. No responsibility. She's a mean mean person
How was she mean?
@@ekristacollins Did you watch the episode? It's pretty clear.
@@ekristacollins It would be easier to point out the times she wasn't mean.
I did not like her attitude either I will throw everything away to
They donate lot of stuff
Sad that she made that poor man live his last years in that & destroy such a beautiful home instead of cherishing it:(I could only imagine how his kids felt
And at the end of it all there was so much structural damage to the house that it was too expensive for them to fix, so they had to sell their beloved family home anyway!! I am so livid for what Carol did to this family and that gorgeous house. Such a shame!
"We will see what happens." Are you kidding me lady??? What have you got planned?
Me everytime see Hoarders "how they afford all that stuffs" lol
A lot of hoarders buy stuff from thrift stores, where things can be really cheap. Or yard sales.
Me too then i remember retirement, ssn, pension. Money to buy food with, not to trash up ur house
in this case she stole from the husband and the kids and sold their cars and stuff to support her shopping addiction
@@Starsk25 I did that less than 8 years
When my husband complains I have too many storage containers that I organize things in...I’m rollin this footage 😂
I saw this recently and cannot believe they allowed her to move back into the house, what an absolute disgrace of a human
This house would be worth a small fortune now!!
I remember the content writers had no problems throwing all the shade at Carol throughout the storyline, each one more brutal than the last. At least the team got the granddaughter her car after Carol sold it.
May Dave and his beautiful wife(first wife) rest in heaven. May they find light and peace up there. I wish more than best for their loved ones. Much power , much love and much healing to them. Stay strong. Im glad Mr Dave finally got to see his beautiful home clean and nice before he left ❤🥺
UPDATE: the older gentleman that was the homeowner, passed away on September 9th, 2019, shortly after this was filmed. His wife moved out and the house was sold. This was an update from Kelly their granddaughter. :(
I'm sorry to hear this. Is it true she left him before he died?
livelaughandlearn97 her daughter didn’t say so I don’t know :(
The wife didn’t “move out” she was kicked out after she spent all the money and couldn’t keep up the house
Yeah we know it was shown at the end of the episode
She didn’t pay for Dave’s life support, so that might’ve contributed with her being kicked out.
What a truly magnificent home! Those stairs & the stained glass windows at the top did it for me. Good home for them now & perhaps a perfect house for someone else down the road
Unfortunately, Dave passed away and they had to sell the house because the damaged were to expensive. Once Dave died they cut off Carol
God bless Mary she was the only one that was patient enough to get through Carol. Mary is truly a blessing to that family.
Such a gorgeous home, glad they had the help they needed.
I think the suicide of the mother needs to be reopened because I truly believe Carol killed her!!
@Nika Watson My boyfriend said the same thing!
@@lilmisssunshine6013 I said it right away & the hubby was like, I don't think so. Then they started talking about the money, & the second mortgage & he was like maybe your right. By the time they got to the taking money from the joint account and moving it to a personal one he was like, yeah she killed her!
Oh no! Think Carol killed her? Really? 😳
@@jeabyad absolutely!!
Nika Watson I wouldn’t be surprised! I think she may be a sociopath to be honest. She doesn’t seem to care about anyone
I think "Carol, any last words?" wasn't a really good question to ask her.
I like the cleaning expert’s energy.
oh my you can see this was once a stunning house . Rip Dave bless you from uk
I love watching these episodes because it motivates me in throwing stuff I don't need away. Like expired food, old unused clothes, old toys and broken stuff I'd planned to "fix". Thank you A&E!!
There is a "Hoarder Marathon" every Sunday here in Long Beach. I go to early Mass, and come home and clean and pitch stuff while watching it. Great motivation!
even when we pitch stuff, it still goes to a landfill to sit forever. The real solution is to stop consuming so much to begin with :)
1:53
Host: "Carol, any last words?"
Carol: "No, lets get on with the show."
Ok, just this one old Lady brought all that Stuff in?!!! ... Well, Time helped her! 😮
Who else was thinking "Good night Johnboy!" by the Front View on the Building?! Lol ❤🧡💛
🤣, yeah! Their front porch game is STRONG!!
This has to be one of the “cleanest” hoarding houses I’ve ever seen. It’s not filthy, there’s just a huge amount of stuff.
Oh see filthy in another way then 😅
Agreed. I mostly saw crafting supplies, books, tapes and board games . The board games are so poignant too, cuz you need two or three other people … and a flat surface … and clear chairs to sit on … none of that can happen in Misery Manor. Very sad. 🏡🏡🏚🏡🏡
Watch the full episode~
This was an incredibly depressing episode.
"And as you can see there is a space for Carol to do her thing" Yep, more hoarding you may have cleaned her house but she still has a habit of hoarding.
Yoda be like "Sad is the condition of my house..." :D
