## Resource

Why do abusers and controlling people refuse to give your stuff back after a breakup? In this video, Lee Hammock exposes the sinister tactics behind why toxic people hold your personal belongings hostage. You’ll learn how an abusive person uses your clothes, electronics, or even important documents as an invisible tether to keep you locked into their lives and keep access to you. We dive deep into the power dynamics of why they thrive on making you beg for your things, how they use your possessions as an excuse to re-engage with you months down the line, and why they would rather destroy your items out of spite than give them back gracefully. Understanding this behavior is critical for your mental health and physical safety, helping you decide when to fight for your property and when to leave it behind to protect your peace.
