Rotting food inside with lots of animal poop outside....
somebody was nasty.
The video you are trying to view is unavailable :waitasec:
It sounds like the condition of the home may have resulted from a combination of:
TM spending so much time on SM, writing so many comments and replies under so many names
Paranoia and fear of everything caving in around them
Depression about the house of cards crashing down and the perfect picture being destroyed.
Possibly guilt eating away at them.
For the first time, I'm starting to wonder about substance abuse issues (alcohol or drugs.)
Unsanitary conditions can be an indicator of addiction, although admittedly, in lieu of a substance addiction, Tammy or Sidney could have other mental issues, perhaps?
EDIT: Is it just me, or is rotting food being left out/unlivable bedrooms - that's pretty weird JMO. Not being insulting, I'm genuinely wondering: Who lives in squalor unnecessarily? Thoughts on why this would happen?
Hoarding would easily fit with all of her other issues. Also, the red face may have been rosasia which is a skin condition which may be affected by environmental conditions. In an early photo, I noticed what looked like a ringworm on one family members wrist. Unkempt hair, in photos, was prevalent too.

In this video it does mention that there were a couple of mattresses in the master bedroom, which possibly could have come from the other bedrooms?
IMOO.
With exception of their staircase and remodeled bathroom (which I bet aren't real) I've not seen any pic of inside their home. That seems unusual for someone who is a photographer and takes as many pics as she does. Maybe they needed an outdoor kitchen because the inside one was always dirty. Sm had to grill and cook. Look at the arial pics: pretty from the front to all outsiders then you see that back lot that looks like sanford and son junkyard. I think their life was that also. These actions by these people are symptoms of a sickness inside. Imo
Drinking/drugs? Maybe... the rosacea tm has can be made worse by drinking. A purple nose is a common thing on severe alcoholics.

Someone please help I read somewhere that TM and SM own house in Charleston, SC and cannot find the info when I need it. <modsnip>
:tantrum: I have been worried about those animals since they were arrested. I hope they are being taken care of!!
Confession: During an extreme bout of depression, my house became a wreck. It was sad, and I had no energy to do anything about it. I don't think most people want to live that way, but mental illness can be a demon. I do know of people that live that way, and two are hoarders and it doesn't bother them at all. I was ashamed, and didn't want visitors.

I just have to say that everyone has different levels of comfort with how their house is. I've been in houses so clean you could eat off the floor, and the people who lived there had diagnosed OCD. You also could not be comfortable in their house, put down a drink, eat an entire meal without someone sweeping up under you during the meal, so that doesn't mean clean is better. I have a friend who is a clutterbug. She picks up her clutter and cleans under it, but her house always looks like a bomb went off in it. A clean bomb. Then there is our house. I'd better make sure I never get arrested for anything in my house. There's always a chance that the loaf of bread that no one has touched in a week is starting to mold in the bread box. Some loaves last longer than others, and we don't eat bread every day. If we have bacon sandwiches for dinner, sometimes the bacon grease is still hot when we go to bed and doesn't get dumped until the next morning (we often don't eat until 10PM). If the dishwasher is running and was full, there will be a stack of dirty dishes next to the sink. And if it just so happens that it's the day before we clean the 3 X 5 foot three level cage with five guinea pigs, it's pretty disgusting. To top it all off, there is often some kind of science experiment on the counter in our house(we still have a beetle that lived for over a year that was a science project that is in a box waiting to be buried), or in the fridge (the skull made out of clay sitting in the fridge during a heat wave is a classic). And then other days we look like everybody else. It'd just be embarrassing to get caught on one of our bad days.For the first time, I'm starting to wonder about substance abuse issues (alcohol or drugs.)

It occurred to me the fact that "all 5 were asleep in the master bedroom" may be a telling fact. The arrest and booking information indicate that TM was arrested immediately at the home. However, SM was arrested "later and at a different location". IMO that means perhaps SM was allowed to stay with the children until DSS arrived or escort them to a safe location. If that happened then maybe LE already views TM as the primary perp.
I am so with you on this. My husband passed away unexpectedly when he was 47. It put me in a depressive state that I thought would never end. It started out with our bedroom, where I started piling clothes on his side of the bed and continued until there were boxes and bags of "stuff" stacked everywhere. I hated what was happening, but couldn't find a way to escape. Not that I think TM's behavior is excusable, but on top of her other issues the infidelity probably pushed her over the edge.
