Michelle / Kim is an emotionally charged episode of Hoarders season 2 that is sure to tug at viewers' heartstrings. The episode centers around two women, Michelle and Kim, who are both struggling with severe hoarding disorders.

Michelle is a middle-aged woman who has lived in her home for over 30 years. Her home is filled to the brim with all kinds of items, from clothes and books to furniture, knick-knacks, and even a boat. Michelle's hoarding has become so severe that she is no longer able to sleep in her bed because it is covered in piles of clutter. Instead, she sleeps on a small area of her couch, surrounded by towering stacks of boxes and bags.

Kim, on the other hand, is a single mother who lives with her teenage son. Kim's hoarding began after she suffered a miscarriage several years earlier. She began to fill her home with items as a way to cope with her grief and depression. Since then, her hoarding has spiraled out of control. Her home is so cluttered that she is no longer able to cook meals or even use her bathroom. Instead, she and her son are forced to use a nearby gas station restroom and eat fast food.

As the episode unfolds, viewers are given a glimpse into the lives of these two women and the impact that their hoarding has had on themselves and their families. We see Michelle struggling to make her way through the narrow pathways in her home, often tripping and stumbling over the piles of clutter. She reveals that she has not allowed anyone inside her home for years and that she feels incredibly isolated and alone.

Kim's story is equally heart-wrenching. Her son speaks candidly about the toll that his mother's hoarding has taken on their relationship, explaining that he often feels like he is living with a stranger. Kim, too, is visibly upset and overwhelmed by the mess in her home, lamenting that her hoarding has taken away her ability to provide a safe and clean living space for her family.

Throughout the episode, viewers watch as experts from the show work with Michelle and Kim to help them declutter their homes and restore some sense of normalcy to their lives. The process is not easy, as both women struggle to let go of their possessions and confront the emotional issues that underlie their hoarding. However, with the help of the show's experts, they begin to make progress.

At the end of the episode, viewers are treated to a heartwarming moment as Michelle and Kim's homes are transformed from cluttered and chaotic to clean and organized. Both women express their gratitude to the team that helped them, and there is a sense of hope that they will be able to maintain their newfound cleanliness and orderliness.

Overall, Michelle / Kim is a moving and insightful episode of Hoarders that sheds light on the devastating effects of hoarding and the importance of seeking help. It is a reminder that there is always hope and that it is never too late to make a change.
