why is he doing this?

[Thememorysnearlyfull]

Long story short, I left my XH 18 months ago for being EA (controlling, financial, sexual, write a list - he would have ticked most boxes) He denies to this day that he did anything wrong and thinks equality is a load of feminist bollocks. When I left he continued to live in the marital home, the children and I are in a small rented housing association place.

The marital home is about to be sold and by the time the mortgage and estate agent are paid there will be nothing left, if the sale fails the house will be repossessed as he has allowed the mortgage to fall into arrears. (at the stage of mortgage company have delayed issuing court proceedings to allow sale to proceed.)

Tonight I've had him on the phone, he wants meet and discuss the content of the house and monies he feels I should pay him. More specifically when I left I took a few clothes, a few childrens toys, the family camera (that he doesn't know how to use) and some reasonably expensive equipment relevant to my hobby - stuff he had already tried to force me to sell as he told me that my hobby was now the children. I also took my jewellery. He is demanding I bring everything I took back to the (his) house so we can look at what we do with it all. Previously he's tried to demand money toward his living expenses for the time he's been living alone in the family home, his attitude is that I am half liable as its our house, he's not had a penny from me - I don't have anything. He is now saying we need to discuss removal costs, storage etc. (I'm guessing this is removal costs to take what he wants to keep to wherever he is moving to) He also says we need to hire a cleaner to clean the house once its empty.

Don't engage with him...

I suggest you just write him a one word response... No!
