firebolt, I agree with Lexie---if you think this is possible, gather up those those things that are most valuable to you. Personally, if it were me--I would take the cats in carriers. Also, try to refrain from verbal sparing with him before you leave. Perhaps, present it as you need to get away to relax with your girlfriend for the weekend. If he feels less threatened, he might be LESS inclined to retaliate. Maybe.
Detaching is very important right now.
