Thankfully he didn’t hoard food trash or other stinky items.

It cost me over $700 for many, many trips to have his crap hauled to the dump (he’s in prison, has been for almost 3 years).

It took me 4 months to clean the house once he was gone. He had rented a garage behind the house without telling me, so that was an extra, unexpected joy.

It stems from PTSD. He was improving with therapy, but insurance would only pay for 12 sessions. He quickly reverted to his old ways.

It was a HUGE stress on our relationship (along with his drug use, which is why he’s in prison). He gets out soon. I wish him well, but he won’t be coming to my house.
