If she cancels on me, what do? I am so fed up with this. I know if I show frustration towards her, she just immediately martyrs herself and threatens "W-well, I am just trying to give your dad his stuff back, if you don't want it I'll just throw it out." However, I feel like she's just gonna keep giving me the run around.
But, if this actually goes through, is meeting up with her alone a good idea? Should I tell her I can't until someone can come with me? A little back story, she tried to claim that my dad beat her when he didn't lay a hand on her, and literally almost destroyed his reputation considering the field he works in.

Also, the apartment she wants to meet at, it isn't even her living area. It's literally a random apartment as far as I know. Maybe her friend's place, I have no idea. Also the exit is like bumfuck nowhere. Not even a restaurant for miles. I asked if we could meet up at a public place, and she said the front of the apartment is "public"
The whole thing has got me creeped out and I don't wanna go alone. If I cancel on her, we'll probably never see this stuff.
Ya, you're going to die.

Physical possessions aren't worth risking safety over, just let it be until/unless she'll meet you somewhere you're comfortable with, or you can bring someone with you.
It's just not worth risking your safety, and I'm sure your dad would rather you are safe than have the stuff.
just stick up for yourself a little
there's a middle ground between telling her off and doing whatever she says

Yea, I went with my gut and cancelled. I told her a weekend would be better. I didn't say because i want someone there with me because I know that will make her defensive.
I'm gonna tell my dad that he either goes with me and just stays in the car or I'm going to have my bf go with me whenever he can.
Just feels too weird
