You should go to the Police as he's threatening to kill you. It was wrong to sell his wedding ring, I get why you did it though. Sounds like you're well rid to be honest.

Hi. Firstly poor you, what an ass, secondly, go to the police, he has his threatened your life. Ask the police about the jewelry but my guess is you haven't committed a crime!

Also, call the national domestic abuse helpline and get some support as he sounds emotionally abusive and nasty.

Have a hand to hold and call 101 now.

Stand next to a phone, call the police on 101, and let them know he's threatened to kill you and take your child.

Of course you aren't going to be nicked for selling what he left you with. Don't worry about that bit. Get his threats of violence reported, though.

Go to the police yourself. They seem to listen to whomever spoke first in my experience. Tell them you thought as he'd left it behind he no longer wanted his 'stuff'. Pretty reasonable assumption.
Why did he wait for 2 years to ask for his precious ring back?
Sounds like he's trying to mess with your head.

I think there's a time limit for going to get 'abandoned' items, 6 months (I think). After that you can do what you like with them.

It seems as though there's more to this. Was he like this when you were together? You really do need to go to the Police, he can't threaten you in this way.

I hope you're OK Thanks

Had you given him the chance to collect them?

Nanny0gg · 15/04/2014 13:35

He abandoned you and left you with nothing. He is now threatening you with violence.

Ring the police yourself. He is in way more trouble than you are likely to be.

sisterofmercy · 15/04/2014 14:15

I doubt very much you will be arrested for selling his stuff.

Definitely contact the police DV unit (101) and tell them about the threat on your life and the threatened abduction of your child. That has to be take seriously. Do you have any idea why he is threatening you now over something that happened two whole years ago? Has something changed?

Regarding the sale of property. Are you formally divorced? Was there a financial settlement? Were assets fairly divided? Does he pay maintenance towards the children?
