My prediction is that closet mom will rise to being one of the most toxic patents to ever be on 90DF. She will demonstrate extreme passive aggression, co-dependence, and will stop at no cost to maintain her hoard and control over her child. It’ll be a slow burn but eventually her true colors will show.

    This whole situation has me very uncomfortable. I didn’t realize in previous episodes just how much real estate the animals take up and how tiny the apartment is. It’s a nightmare for that girl. Nowhere to put her clothes, filthy animal stink and a mom in the only closet. Just terrible. He seems like a nice person but really hasn’t got his life together by any means. I feel bad a man so young is dealing with such a problematic mother. Seems it should come later in life. He’s got his hands full and I give him credit for his good Spanish, they seem to communicate well. I agree with OP closet mom is going to present as a major problem.

      Well said, I feel bad for him because my spidey senses are telling me that his mom probably lost her home due to hoarding. I think there may be mental health issues at play based on what we saw in their first episode when she struggled to throw away empty boxes. I’m also curious about the storage unit with her belongings, it looks like a lot of stuff was just thrown in there haphazardly over a period of time. I wonder if she’s able to get SSI or some sort of government assistance, not sure if she is currently working or not.
