Part 6/12:
In her interviews, Amanda reflects on her mother’s troubled upbringing and the inability—or unwillingness—to address underlying trauma. She narrates that her mother was often chaotic, inappropriate, and avoided admitting the extent of her disorder. Amanda wonders whether this chaos and hoarding are intertwined with other issues, such as early boundary violations or unhealthy attachments, but recognizes the difficulty in diagnosing or pinpointing specific causative factors.
