She Admits She Called CPS On Her Hoarder Sister, Hoping It Would Force Her To Get The Help She Needs
This woman’s 48-year-old sister has four children with her ex-husband, who range in age from 10 to 20.
While her sister isn’t separated from her husband in a legal sense, they still equally share custody of their children.
Not that long ago, she went to visit her sister and was shocked regarding how awful her hoarding and mental health have gotten.
She’s spent the last two years begging her sister to allow her to clean or hire a team to help, but her sister routinely refused any help.
In fact, she didn’t know how bad her sister had spiraled out of control until she saw everything for herself.
One of her sister’s kids, a 12-year-old, is no longer going over to her sister’s ex’s house since she got into a disagreement with him.
“After 1 month, her hair is completely matted to her head, she has no clean clothes, and [she] hasn’t showered in days,” she explained.
“According to her, my sister says she doesn’t have to use deodorant, brush hair or teeth, or shower if she doesn’t want to.”
“When I told my sister I was worried about how her kids are living, she told me I was not allowed to see her daughter ever again.”

She then had a conversation with her sister’s oldest child, who is 20, and he told her that her sister is claiming to her kids that her ex is abusive for making them do homework and chores and stay on top of their hygiene.
Also, her sister’s kids are supposed to be homeschooled, but they won’t do any work at her sister’s house because she doesn’t make them.
Her sister’s son gave her photos of her sister’s horrible home. There are filthy clothes, mountains of garbage, and rotted food all over the place.
She says that if a fire ever broke out in the kitchen, nobody would survive as there’s no pathway out of the house; it’s that cluttered.
Her sister’s son said even though the house is disgusting, the kids prefer being with her sister instead of their dad, as her sister permits them to play video games all day without expecting them to be productive.
“I called CPS on her, and now she and the kids aren’t talking to me,” she added. “She called and screamed at our mother first, thinking it was her.”
“Our mom said it wasn’t her, so obviously it was me. She used to fill her bedroom with garbage as a kid and scream when our parents made her clean.”
“Her ex also sent me photos of their house and how disgusting it would be if he came back from a work trip (pre and post kids). She blames the kids for the mess, but also she refuses to get help or even let her ex have the kids for a few months while she gets it together.”
Now, her sister has been struggling with mental illness and lost her job over her chronic pain. Four years ago, her sister had a scary incident in a hospital and suffers from PTSD because of it.
She knows her sister desperately needs help, and if her sister loses custody of her children, they will need to go live with her ex full-time.
Her sister maintains her ex is a manipulator who doesn’t help her enough financially, though she knows he gives her sister money to pay for utilities and rent.
She can say he’s strict with the children, but it’s not evident if her sister is making false claims against him.
“I know the kids love their mom; is that enough to overlook their living situation?” she wondered.
“Should I have just left it? Will living with their dad be worse?…I love my sister so much. My hope is [that] either the kids stay with their dad while she gets the help she needs or she gets the apartment to a point where they let her keep them. Win-win”
Do you think it was wrong of her to call CPS on her sister?
