Ffs ex has lost my £900 savings

Me again. With my never ending shit from exh.
Breif over view (more detail can be found in my other posts). I separated from h in Sept last year. Mostly because of his lying about money etc and because he's generally shit with money. He's also emotionally closed off. We have 3 young dc. We are going to counselling to see if we can save our relationship.

So last weekend we actually went out for a meal. Things went really well. We talked for ages and really worked through some stuff (which we haven't done without the counsellor in a long time). It felt wonderful.

H had a save to buy account which can only be held in one name. I also have one but there's a limit on how much can be paid in a month so when my gran left me some money we opened one in h name to pay it into (the first payment can be more). This was before all the lying about money shit came out.

I've been asking him since we split to give me my money back. He finally shut the account down last week and said he paid the money into my bank account. Well it hasn't shown up and he has no receipt for the cash transaction so its just disappeared into thin air (if h is to be believed). I am such an idiot for not going with him to sort it.

I feel so stupid for letting myself believe he could change. And I'm heartbroken that my nans money is gone. H is so emotionally crap it's not even bothering him that I'm in tears over the whole thing.

The stupid thing is I can't stop myself from wanting to make it work even though I know it's the worst idea ever.

If it's theft can't you go to the police? This guy has stolen from you. You need to get him out of your life (only you can do something about this) and get your money back. You need that £££ for your kids and your future! Don't just write it off!

Because it isn’t theft. It is money in his name, in his bank account. You can’t steal money from yourself.

Legally there is nothing she can do. It isn’t theft, she gave him the money.

I wish I'd never let him have the money in his name, but I trusted him. Lesson learnt and now I have to move on. He's starting to get aggressive when I challenge his lies (verbally not physically) I think he's panicking because all his lies are unraveling.

That's a surprise He's agressive. He's been lying & stealing & now you know the truth.
Tell him you will expect every penny to be returned or you are off to the small claims, police etc & that there appears to be a bailiffs letter at your house

He's getting aggressive because you've rumbled him.
