it always embarassed me growing up that our house was kind of dirty.

like i avoided bringing women over and shit because of the clutter.

i cant be the only one who grew up like this.

    A friend of mine's dad is a pretty bad hoarder, they couldnt shower for months as a time as a kid because their dad was keeping an eel he's caught in the bath tub (and felt guilty about, he'd only ever kill and eat invasive fish)

    its more common than you think OP, my own experience with this stuff is similar to yours
