Do I go back to my abuse parents house

[Advice Request]

Hi, I don't know if this is the right group to post this on but I'm looking for advice. I escaped my emotionally abusive parents home early last month. I took the essentials but today my mother sent me a message saying they are clearing out my room and want me to help. I want to get my things I collected a lot of nice things over time but also I know they will find things they don't like such as vape packaging I know that seems small but I don't want to go back there and be trapped back in the house with them after I have escaped. Once I left they started turning up to my work and became physical. I'm scared of even a message today saying they found stuff (nothing illegal) it could even be a spoon from the kitchen and things would blow up there have been times where my room has been untidy and it turns into a 5 hour shouting at me all night no joke. I don't know whether I should just accept the loss of my stuff, block them and never have to deal with them again. Or am I overreacting and just get a removal company grab my stuff as quick as possible and have a witness there? I don't know what to do and I'm stressing shaking all day knowing they are going through all of my stuff. I know if I help them theyll be shouting at things they find and I just shut down and my anxiety goes through the roof. I don’t want to experience the same thing I just escaped from ever again. The thought of them going through my stuff now though and I can’t control anything is also bad
