My now ex boyfriend and I were together for 3yrs. During those three years, he was very abusive, physically, verbally, and emotionally.
This past Thursday, we had an altercation to where he found out from my cousin that I was planning to leave. He got heated and things got pretty violent.
While he was on the phone with his mom, I grabbed what I could, which were a few of my daughters and I outfits, and left to safety shelter. He got even more upset because I had plans on going grocery shopping that day but didn’t, so there was no food in the house. He had no job and was dependent on me FOR EVERYTHING. The whole time, he began inboxing friends of my mine, speaking bad about me because I left him in a house w/ no food.
Sunday morning, he texted and said that he had sold all of my belongings and had let his brother move into my apt. I immediately called the police and when we got there, everything I worked so hard for was gone. I have NOTHING. My things and my daughters things are gone. The entire apt was empty and his brother and the brother ‘s girlfriend made themselves really comfortable in my apt. Ofc, the police said since I left him there, it’s nothing they can do because I left him there. But what other steps can I take?
UPDATE: It’s a lot of comments to reply to but I did let my case manager know what happened. She and another case worker advised that my daughters and I stay at the shelter until I find a new place and to break the lease at the apts im currently at because they feel it isn’t safe. Also, A couple of hours ago, my ex sent a text telling me that I can get the things that weren’t sold from his cousin’s house. However, I was advised to not retrieve the property. All of the case managers here are planning a fundraiser to raise the money to replace everything I lost and would be able to use it once I find a new place to go.
