Packing belongings

My stepfather’s possessions were packed and set outside, ready for him to retrieve. I solicited the assistance of my best friend, and together we relocated his belongings swiftly. It felt cleansing to let rid of any traces of his power. We handled everything with care, not out of respect for him, but to guarantee that he had no motive to retaliate. The house was gradually becoming mine.

Legal notice

I issued a formal legal notice to ensure that he could not return without incurring legal consequences. My lawyer assisted me in drafting the document, which detailed all of the legal reasons why my stepfather was unable to return. We sent it certified mail to ensure he received it. The notification was plain and firm, leaving no space for confusion. Knowing he had read those lines and realized he was out for good brought me a great deal of satisfaction.
