Ex just doesn't have a clue..

I'm actually quite astounded by him to be honest.
If you've not seen any of my previous threads, I left a horrifically abusive relationship last year, DD and I literally had to flee for our lives and start again completely, we were relocated by children's services and ex doesn't know where we live. For context..this is a subhuman who is violent, and dangerous and abuses children as well as women.
Anyway, he is currently having supervised contact in a center fortnightly.. I made a request via solicitors for him to bring certain belongings and documents to the contact center that I left behind because I had no time to pack..
After the last session that DD has with him.. The contact supervisor hands me a bag, which I assumed were my belongings.
No...
It was a tin of formula for 18-24 month old..
DD is nearly 3.. And has been on cows milk since she was 1..i told the supervisor this and she told me just to take it and not give him an excuse to say I didn't take it..
I am fuming though.
I chucked in the bin as soon as I got home, I feel like I should've just left it by his car or been more insistent that the supervisor give it back to him.
AIBU to be annoyed with myself?

I think you did the right thing in following the advice of the supervisor.

And well done for getting away.

He was clearly trying to wind you up, and it worked.

I completely get why you’re annoyed, but this isn’t the supervisors fault either. I couldn’t be arsed for the aggro of trying to return it, it could be seen as you trying to be petty which is what the supervisor meant I think. I’d have accepted it and given to a charity. Could you arrange for the police/an escort to collect the belongings you need?

The Supervisor was right. He wanted a reaction, so don't give him one. If he knows he can wind you up he'll pull stuff like this all the time. Give him radio silence and eventually he'll grow tired of screaming into the void and stop trying to get a reaction out of you.

For the stuff you need; could you get a police escort to go around there and collect it?

I couldn’t get worked up about that

I have tried numerous times to get a breach of the peace appointment with the police but they said they can't just turn up and he needs to agree a time. He's ignored all calls and solicitors letters.

Please listen to those saying not to respond. He wants to wind you up; he probably will just think it's hilarious. You will achieve nothing by leaving it for him or anything else. Just ignore him.

I'm sorry Flowers
