There have been times that my children have compared me to the hoarder shows because I have a hard time throwing things away. It's not that I want to hang on to it, it even gets packed into the bags to get rid of. I just struggle with actually getting things out of the house. Don't worry, I am far from actually being a hoarder. So, I've been reading a book about teenagers that have family situations that they are hiding. One girl has a hoarder mother. The other has an alcoholic mom with a live in boyfriend who is showing unwanted attention. Both are trying to cope on their own because they are afraid of what people will think if they knew what was going on. Behind Closed Doors is written by Miriam Halahmy. The saving day may be when these two young people find each other and realize that there is a support system and they don't have to face life alone.
Well, time has gotten away from me today. Between the internet being down, too many emails, and other distractions, I have only a few minutes to write about books. So, here is a suggestion for the Christmas weekend.
