Wait - the ordering you are assuming is wrong. I reached out to her family AFTER the protection order.

Oh, that OK then.

Look, I know why she petitioned for protection - it was a tactic.
She actually confessed to my sister that she asked for the protection order because she was afraid that I would have the kids taken from her, for her behavior. She wanted to pre-empt me.
She said this. (Unless my sister is lying, which I doubt).

OK Now you have convinced me she is nuts. She can't be sane to tell your sister her tactics!!

And my beef is with a system that allows this. Ok, we ought to protect the innocents and defenseless. I agree with that strongly. But can we not have a speedier evaluation? Why does it take 4 months for the state to get around to evaluating her allegations?

I agree it is a long time. It must be awful having this hanging over your head for 4 months.

Nutty.
