The House We Grew Up In by Lisa Jewell

I really loved this heartbreaking and enduring story.
Lorelai's descent into hoarderdom is so subtle but also so starch. Its also bewildering that her children seemed to not be able to extend her even the barest amount of empathy to this being a psychological disease. But with every personal blow she falls deeper into the hole.
TLDR; why aren't more people on therapy? Why don't parents put their kids in therapy when traumatic shit happens?
