Episode IV: A New Hope (?)

Thanks all,

To clarify, she DIDN'T get hauled away, when everything was said and done I told the PD I just want her out of the house and didn't press charges. The next morning I went to the police station to assertain what to do about keeping her out of the house in light of the situation, they said either press charges and have her arrested still or go to the Circuit Court and do the Order of Protection (OOP), which the later is what I opted to do.

This is still interpreted by FIL as a 'hostile move'. Well, he hasn't seen nothing yet as my mail service seems to have abruptly stopped in the last week, so I put a call in to the postal service and if in fact she is interfiering with MY mail, well, that's a federal offense especially with W2's floating in the mail. AND, if the forward order was put in after the 15th, that violates the provision of "Respondaent is pohibited from committing the following: Intererence with personal liberty" and then she's really in for the long haul in that respect.

Furthermore, she was hostile to me on the phone prior to burting into the house and committing the attack, so the 'sight on seen and lost it' need not apply, she's just done lost touch with reality.

As I said prior, this seems to be the way the bulk of her relations end, but this time she's messed with the wrong person.

My concern now is my children, whole heartedly. I am doing the best to monitor what I say if anything about the situation. As to why they can't see her, I merely said, if someone stole from you would you tell someone? If someone hurt you would you tell someone? Yes, and why, because you know it's wrong and that person must be held responsible for their actions against you. It was NEVER my intent to keep you from seeing mom, but the people I had to tell saw it differently or made a mistake in the paperwork and it will all be staightened out soon, I'm sorry.

As for living conditions, heh, I've had it, FIL can after renter on his own for the portion of the full rent owed owed and I will pay my part as I PAY all the utilities and they are now past due and the electric is already scheduled for shut off, but I odn't know when since I'm not getting my mail.

If he wants to 'boot' me and my kids, that's pretty damn low, or perhaps he's up to something else custodywise, I just know. I just don't understand how someone is so adement on getting money one day, then there's no contact for the next 2? WTF?
