Lol I was definitely kidding a about the balloon signs.

I said "I'm sorry you feel that way" and he gave a big, loud, fake, sarcastic, nasty laugh as he walked away. I felt very hopeless and hollow inside.

HE is the one who is hollow inside - don’t let him project that onto you. You did a good job with the “I’m sorry you feel that way” comment, less good with letting him get you on the clothing return stuff. Anything he sees bothers you, he will use to needle you. Your ex should have his own clothes for S2. Send S2 for overnight with just the clothes he’s wearing, let ex supply pj’s and next day clothes. Get duplicates of beloved blankies ror stuffed animals if you can. Just minimize anything that gives him a foothold on you. Be the smooth grey rock that he can’t get a grip on.
