A man suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder after learning he was the intended target of a thwarted shooting starred in the Wednesday, Nov. 13 episode of TLC's Hoarding: Buried Alive.

The episode showed Wayne's home, where he has shuttered himself completely from the outside world. The former high school principal lives among piles of garbage, consisting mostly of the bottles of meal-replacement shakes he can't bring himself to throw out.

The trash had gotten so bad that Wayne even injured himself trying to walk through the mess.

"Except for my big toes, I've broken every one of my toes at least once," he said in the episode.

Some viewers felt that the show's most recent episode went past being entertainment, and instead preyed on someone who is "clearly mentally ill" and has a family that "didn't care."

"Support for your father would make a world of difference in this situation...The behavior is not only disgusting but the sick pleasure the mom is getting from watching her brainwashed daughter treat her father like this is friggin criminal," viewer Angie wrote on TLC's website for the show.

"Your father, the man that brought you in to this world, that did what he could with the cards he was given, deserves some respect."

"His daughters come off as heartless b*tches whose only concern is themselves. The father is obviously ill & they disregard it as nothing," a user under the name Mr. Sir wrote. "What if he was a germaphobe & a shut-in? They only seemed to be concerned about the mess, and not the illness behind it."
