I had a good talk with mom over dinner. I totally have my family support. My uncle and cousin need to be kept away from H for his own safety. She really gave me some good encouragement- while she hates to see the way things turned out, she doesn't see anyway to salvage things either.
Mom is also in agreement with everybody here- she wants me to call the police ahead of time to put them on notice. Not necessarily for an escort, but maybe frequent drivebys. I'm calling them on Wednesday. We just don't know what kind of reaction to expect from H. I may not even stay here Friday night if it's too uncomfortable.
Mom also suggested giving one of H's brothers a heads up. He might be able to help diffuse any tension and be there to support H. Does that sound like a good idea?
