My dad sort of sees it, but he is also resigned to it. I think he'd be more normal if it weren't for my mom. She has the hoarding compulsion very badly. My dad has said to my sister in private: "We either unload this stuff now, or you and your brother do it when we die."

But my mom really won't budge.

My dad has tried some trickery to get me to take things. His prized possessions are his guns. He gave me a rifle and said, "if you decide you don't want this just give it back. No harm. No foul."

So I did give it back to him some months later. Then the next time he came over he gave it back to me and said: "I want you to hold on to this for me. It isn't yours. You don't have to count it as a possession. You just keep it, shoot it when you like. Just leave it in your closet."

I asked: "When will you want it back?"

He said: "I don't know."

LOL

I was like: "You are basically just giving it to me in every way but calling it mine!"

So I told him I was giving it to my sis and BIL. They took it and like it. haha

I do feel like my mom chooses her stuff over my sis and I.
