She also had respiratory issues from living in a moldy hoarders house her whole life but that's hardly Asmon's fault. If you have any family who are like this you know how hard it is to get them to change. He could pay for a clean new house and she would make it into a hoarder house within a couple months, and if you hire people to clean then they get pissed. They hate their stuff being taken away and psychologically cannot part with anything. He still should have done it though and had the hard conversations with her, instead of just letting her wallow in filth and wallowing with her when he had money to fix it.
