To worry he will enter my room without permission

...so how (What) do I rig something up to prove it he has opened the door?

Background is EA, narc STBXH (the 130mph speeding one some people may remember from last summer). We ended up in a refuge and he moved out in early July. The divorce is HORRIFIC. And unbelievably expensive. He's practically stalking me now and has asked if he can collect some things from the house tomorrow. I agreed.

I know he will slither about and snoop and pry and I want to make it crystal clear that he is under no circs allowed in my room. How can I prove if he's done it despite my request and without him saying I've staged a photo proving that for example a small piece of paper has fallen out from where I've put it?

He has this ability to still get me in a tizz although I'm happier, more confident and more together than I've been in ten years. I have stood up to him, made him accountable and he hates it that I have not rolled over and done what he wants...he warned me he would make this bitter and he is as good as his word.

I've even reconnected with an old flame (happens to be the love of my life) and have high hopes for the future, whether alone (single) or involved with A.N. Other.

Help appreciated.

They say just don't let him get to you. So much easier to just say it.

It certainly is! Unless you have been through this, you have no idea of the mental and emotional agony it is - absolutely terrifying sometimes.

Take care to protect yourself. And pop back if you don't mind, just so we know you're okay. (hugs)

He came and went. DS noticed "a man taking a xxx out of the garden". Tried to distract the DC and had a friend over. I'll be following all advice to bag all the rest up and hand it over. Anything else he can get once me and the DC have moved out when this house of horrors is sold.

Thanks all xxx

I totally get how scary this is for you. It’s a shame your mum lacks empathy. I’m glad it went without incident.
