Q: Unmarried never lived together. He left a few things here. Has been verbally threatening me over his stuff.
I don't want to see him anymore. He's verbally, emotionally, physically abusive. I don't want to see him anymore. Do I have to give his things back? I just don't want to deal with him and his threats. He sends threats via Facebook. That he'll come down from 50 miles away. It'd be awful if he did. He has a record for previous domestic violence. I've never turned in his abuse except to my therapist and psychiatrist. My mother has witnessed it in our home. He can't even prove it's his stuff and my therapist said no he has no rights to it for my safety. Oh wait yes police were called by Speedway a year ago. Local police made me drive him home knowing he had a machete in his bag. I just want to move on without seeing him anymore. Can I just throw the stuff away? I'm in Chillicothe, Ohio Thank you.
A: Ask him to send you a list of what he wants. Put those things in a box. Take photos of the items that you put in the box. Ship the box to him or put the box outside your place, and tell him they are available for him to pick-up. After that, block him from your Facebook, and if he continues to contact or harass you, contact the local police.
