I want to congratulate Harried on pulling himself out of the depression and taking such significant steps in getting his family's life back on track, such as making dinner every night and eating it together. It's also great that Harried has been as committed as he has been to keeping his family together. It sounds like things are pretty bad though if his mother is threatening to sue for custody and this leads me to think things have reached crisis point already. I'm glad Harried is putting the welfare of his child first.
The trouble with addicts is that nothing is going to change them if they don't think they have a problem, besides which, no matter how much they act out their addictive behaviour it isn't going to address their problem either. Harried's wife is obviously NOT dealing with some pretty big problems, and so it's not just the clutter that's hurting Harried's family, it's the unaddressed issues behind that behaviour as well.
