Family don't end with blood! (Ooops, channeling Bobby there....)
I've still got tons of crap to go through, and that might just be literal, I've probably got a couple tons of books alone! And 'zines, and bales of paper clutter and boxes of who-knows-what...at this point, I've got a few oasis in a desert of junk. I'm getting to where I'm less overwhelmed, but that's mostly through telling myself that it WAS worse and can only get better from here.
I don't know what your roomie's clutter issues are---sentiment? Fear of poverty? Feeling overwhelmed? Sloth? All of the above? I can relate? Can you get her to pack some away and chuck it if she doesn't need it in six months? I'm trying to be realistic about how much I love things versus how much use I get out of them (and at this point, whether I can get money for them).
