Keep moving forward, MissMunky and Valor. You have been through enough abuse at the hands of others. Now is the time to begin to care for yourselves and your homes. You did not deserve the awful things that happened, but you do deserve clean homes. You do deserve a place where you can open the windows, and let the sunshine stream in. You do deserve a helping hand from friends who care, and are ready to listen when you need to talk.
Your friend, Catlady

I don't mean to keep harping on the same subject, but I wonder it seems as if the squalor really is directly related to the assault, as you mentioned you were pretty clean before.
Maybe it is a way of showing outwardly that your inner world was turned upside down?
A way of keeping people away from you?
A way of making yourself unattractive to others, to avoid further assaults? For example, the smell from the house being on you?
You mentioned that your friends that you told about the assault can no longer come over, maybe it is hard for you to face them because they know?
Or it could just be from depression from the assault too.
Maybe you have lost your sense of self-worth, and don't feel like you deserve to live in a nice house? (which is absolutely untrue, you seem like a wonderful person!) Or it could be totally unrelated, I just wanted to mention those things, because it might be able to give you some insight, and help you through this hard time. Forgive me if I stepped over the line, I know it is a very sensitive subject.
Again, I am so very glad that you are here, and you are ready to begin to work on your house. I cannot wait to hear about all of your progress.

- Miss Munky is back online now! (Her computer had been having difficulties for more than a month.)---- Hi Miss Lorna Munky ! It was lovely meeting you in the chatroom today, so I had to come here and read your intro thread. I've had some tragedies happen in my life, but they were completely unrelated to my squalor tendencies. Other people have direct correlation between trauma and squalor. There are millions of reasons why we fall into squalor. Each of us is UNIQUE. I learned to NOT overanalyze why I fell into squalor. What matters is beginning the process of change. It sounds like you've begun! Hugs, Lioness -
