When I left Steve he kept back some of my belongings, just one small box but there were things in there that meant a lot to me.
I know he didn't expect me to leave but I had already asked him to help with some things that I found difficult as my eyesight deteriorated. One of the things I asked for was help walking Beano as I was finding it difficult to cross the busy road outside our flat. He refused to help, claiming he wasn't well enough, this didn't stop him crossing the same road many times a week and catching the bus into town to spend the day in the pub drinking.
He developed a habit of smirking whenever I found a task difficult to manage and I found this extremely irritating. Especially when he claimed his Dr had said I needed to start cooking for him again and take better care of him. I doubt the Dr said anything of the sort! Especially since Steve was refusing to eat any vegetables and wanted only fried food.
One of my daughter's collected the box from Steve a short time ago, unfortunately as he'd had plenty of warning of her visit he gave her 5 or 6 boxes full of stuff he didn't want. He did this for two reasons, partly so I'd have to spend time getting rid of the rubbish and partly so he could tell the neighbours how unkind I was, taking his belongings away from him!

It really does sound like you are way better off where you are now.
I hope you get your things back soon.
That all sounds very much like my h - I've noticed him smirking cruelly and being spiteful too - He's 76 and behaving very strange - It's not at all how I imagined retirement would be - Would your Son be able to collect your personal items - flis xx
Believe me the neighbours know what he is about. And those that don't will soon find out. Just sit back and take the long view. Love Andie xxxxxxx
It's all worth it to be away from him!
Ask your daughter to take them back to him. Give him his own rubbish back. Glad you're well out of it all. Elaine
I just hope that every one of the items you care about shows up in one of those boxes! Too bad you have to waste your time sorting!
And casually tell the nosy neighbours that poor Steve is so confused he gave his own garbage instead of the one clearly indicate box of items that was asked for.
The cruel smirking makes me so angry. The ex neighbours must know what he is like and if they don't, well,you can't educate idiots. They are just things, you have a new life and the sun is shining on you. Have a good day.
The neighbours know, they will have had their own dealings with him that they've never told you about and he won't admit to. Betty knew didn't she bless her soul. When I broke down in tears at the DR's because of my DH's behaviour , my GP said to me " it's not gone unnoticed, a few people have been worrying about you including me" For the first time in years I didn't feel alone and it gave me the jolt I needed to get away
