Jenny, if you have any friends who'd be willing to help you, too, besides having police there, which I think is a VERY good idea, it would be a good idea, even just for moral support. Also, do you have to tell them in advance? If it were me and possible, I don't think I'd tell them anything until the day of with the moving van there and being loaded. Best to do it all in one fell swoop rather thwn be in such a state of nerves and concern not only for your stuff but yourself and their possible retaliations.

I am really glad that you are getting out of such a horrible situation and will be sending you lots of good thoughts, virtual hugs and thanks givings that it goes well.
