“Hoarders” show unknowingly features a sex offender
The reality TV show Hoarders, aired on A&E, failed to do a background check on “Patrick Donovan Flanagan O’Shannahan,” who they portrayed as an eccentric old guy who liked to collect dolls. In fact, he had multiple aliases and a long rap sheet, including a fraud, assault and a sex offense.

I had to comment on this one as the spath i was in volved with was highly over the top OCD. Doesn’t even cook in his home, only barely in his garage. Cleans obsessively and can’t keep garbage in home(anti hoarder) but i do beleive he keeps souvenirs etc. He has a picture of his first exwife(now deceased) at their wedding with divorce decree underneath, as well as a pic of second ex wife below it, all for attention. What he finds amusing , others find distasteful. He collects certain objects and lines everything up. as in the movie Sleeping With the Enemy. I could go on and on, he’s just to sick to give any more energy to. Im so exhausted from all the other toxics i’ve met since, wonder when i will ever get some healthy folks in my life. This estate crap has just about done me in and i feel like im not the sweet person i used to be before all of this, very disheartened and down on people. kh

kindheart48 OCD and hoarder = FUR FLY!!
Donna, my son’s dad was the same way. He collected what was important to him. But, when he decided to leave that life and jump into another…. he would leave it all behind! He had nothing to lose. He didn’t value my life and didn’t value his either. He took his life.

Jim
Jim is a hoarder. His house is so trashed that he doesn’t have a path. He has to step over garbage. He keeps “pee bottles” so he doesn’t have to walk to bathroom.
His entertainment is the computer. I saw teen porn on his computer. He is also signed up with swingers and sex dating sites.
I can easily see the connection. It is one out-of-control nasty addiction combined with the other nasty.

I forgot to mention that Jim is a nudist. This is something I forgot until I walked away from computer for a minute.
See I stopped going to Jim’s house years ago so the memory was in the past.
I remember fat naked Jim standing up and cigarette wrappers were sticking to his ass. His feet kicked aside nasty garbage as he made his way through the house.
I must have really been in a serious fog to have hooked-up with a guy like him.
Jim plays a good game. I can see him hooking-up other women. He has his way of taking focus off him and he gets you looking at what is wrong with you.

The spath i was involved with loved to be referred to as eccentric , and to this day i make a point of telling people that eccentric is just a polite way of saying he’s a dam freak. Sorry but i know how he thinks and eccentric not, they like to think they are special. Mine although he has reported millions steals straws (black to match his ugly garage) from fast food restaurants. All his dishsoap etc. has to be clear , everything the same , BORING CHING CHING . NO imagination whatsoever. To think i thought he was interesting and that is what got my curiosity peeked, to spend all these years and find out he’s the most boring cowardly idiot , just a plain kook. Sorry i had to vent, where is that frying pan , hit me one good one . love kh

Kindheart, he had a clever way of putting it. OR a interesting tone? could he make his boring conversation sound interesting by the tone of his voice?

I’m asking cause Jim did that to me.
He told long boring stories that at first seemed interesting.
I was tired of being interrupted in mid-sentence and then listening to his long boring stories for hours.
I decided to get a word in. He said I RUDELY INTERRUPTED HIM!!!!!
To this day he tells people that I was the problem. That I rudely interrupted him, and that I yelled at him.
Yeah, he portrays me to be this mean little 5’3 woman that beat the shit of his 6’2 fat ass.

I believe that if someone has issues on ‘this’ level…..there is a good chance there is more underneath!!!!
They may just be trying to bury what they are trying to keep off the surface.
