Carol is the Only Honest Person

Shame on everyone. From the start the producer/editor belittles Carol with the "story text slides." The family all say "step" when referring to Carol. Even the granddaughter calls Carol her step-grandmother. (Who does that?)

The family blames Carol for literally everything. Hey guys, the husband is standing right there too. Why don't you ask him why he let this happen? If the family was so concerned about the father's health and living conditions, why didn't they bring him home with them? (I'm venting, but trying to point out that there is a lot more to the story that they never push through.)

They never focus on healing. They jump from saying that hoarding possessions is bad, to saying that having the house back will bring the family together. The house is NOT the issue.

Everyone is attaching their emotions to physical objects and Carol is the only one who is honest. They keep saying "she's not taking responsibility, blah blah blah," when she is telling them "I know this is my fault, I did this." She admits it from start to finish.

Shame on the professionals who focused on all the wrong things. Carol was never accepted by the family and that rejection ballooned into chaos.

Other issue- misuse of taxpayer funds by having the firefighters cleaning the house "in between responding to calls."
