<human>: UPDATE: Thanks for all the advice guys and girls. I got some people around and when she showed up she broke down while the other people she brought packed her stuff into a truck. I got to keep most of the things I wanted, and now I can finally cut my crazy ex out of my life. Cheers Reddit.

If you'd like the backstory, it is the only other post I've ever made on Reddit so it'll be easy to find. To sum it up, we were together for about three years and I found out recently she has been cheating on me for at least 2. She has been out of town for the last three months , and returns today.

Her parents have been insanely overprotective (going as far as to call the cops to make sure I wasn't damaging any of her things). Today, she and her parents are showing up to my apartment with a big moving truck to pick up her stuff. Problem is, having lived together for years a lot of stuff isn't strictly hers or mine. I have boxed all the things I am ok with her taking (ie her stuff and a lot of the shared things), but how do I stop them claiming more?

I will be home alone (flatmates are at work), and she has herself, her parents and a friend. Should I call some of my friends to keep an eye out and hang around with me (I am worried this will escalate things)? Should I just let her take whatever she wants and cut my losses? I feel I won't be able to discuss ownership of anything as she has been ridiculously unreasonable since the breakup and has continued to lie and backstab wherever it suited her.

Advice please?

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
