So when I moved out of our rented apartment and went back to stay with my parents, I left behind quite a few of belongings with my husband. At that time there was no intention to separate or proceed with a divorce. I just needed some space to figure out our relationship and focus on my mental and physical well-being. My husband had encouraged that idea because he said he needed some space from me too.
But later as things continued to deteriorate between us and he filed for divorce, I asked for my stuff back. I was in an other city at that time and my parents received it through courier on my behalf. When I returned I noticed that quite a few of the stuff was missing. It is impossible that he wouldn't remember what was mine and where it was because he made sure to send back the clothes that I had kept in a box for donation. I can ask for all that stuff back but a part of me says that it will be very petty to do so.
I wanted to ask is it normal for an abusive partner to steal your stuff?
