Ursula's story is understandable to me. When I was 20 and my brother 22 our father was killed in a horrific head-on collision with a coal truck. I was already suffering from what might be described as anxiety and agoraphobia then after the death of my father, who was quite a case history himself, our family moved to a new town. My brother, who is probably also autistic, became not only a hoarder but a violent hoarder. The death of our father must have been a part of my brother's hoarding. As our mother's health declined my brother's hoarding got worse. Ursula's story give me insight into the story of my own family which may have a genetic tendency to mental problems.

Having watched only part of this show I now have a bag of books filled up and I'm taking them to the Little Free Library up the street from me. More books will follow---I can only carry so many at one time! I haven't even gone out the door yet and I already feel better!
