I agree with BondGirl. Selling his games without his permission was a bold move bound to fan the flames, and not entirely motivated by financial stress. You've been having money troubles for a while yet you only sold the games after a fight. See how that looks?
I don't doubt both of you have valid grievances but neither of you seem to possess the skills to deal with them more effectively.
You could have an ally in his mum if you played your cards right.

What you should think is that you are rid of this family, that is, unless you decide to take him back at some point. Honestly, this is why people place a lot of importance on marriage. If you don't want to be left high and dry with a house, children, dogs, and bills to pay, then you take adequate time getting to know someone before you get in a relationship and then hopefully get married. You weren't married, so however it ends is however it ends. I hate to be so glum, but what did you think would happen when you sold his stuff (even if you felt a right to do so)? I would leave the situation alone now and don't contact the boyfriend anymore unless it is only to see your children.
