    Default Re: Is It Reasonable to Obtain a Restraining Order Against My Mother

    LOL i DO take care of my brother. Ever since my sister moved out, I was the one who bought groceries, brought him to piano lessons, brought him to tutoring sessions, brought him to school. To this day, I'm still the one who cooks and does his laundry. I helped him apply to the community college here and I walked him through everything for his GED. It's gotten so ridiculous that he has called me mom a few times.

    Unfortunately, my mom does not see this. When she's home, she doesn't cook because she's on her "diet" and only walks around yelling at us. Otherwise, she's out with her friends somewhere on certain nights.

    There is too much background info for me to post it all & the situation is unclear to me so I can't share all the things I want to. Thank you for all your help though- you have given me lots of new things to think about.

    If mom does not live there, dad does not need to allow her in. So, if you do not want her there when dad leaves, tell dad to tell her to stay away. It really is that simple. She may OWN the house, but that does not give her any rights beyond that of a landlord. If dad does not want her there, she cannot come over.

    I'm a little perplexed by your comment:
    I understand that I'm still financially reliant on her but I want to make it so that I don't have to be in the same house as her
    Being financially reliant yet wanting to distance yourself from her seems a little odd.

    Perhapse a little leadership development from your farther is required?

    Personally, I would face up to the difficult task of sorting out your differences. Even it just means you agree to disagree and go your seperate ways.
    I believe a judge would grant it based on potential risk if you had a good case, but it may not be the best way forward as she would, undoubtedly, recieve a copy of the restraining order.
    I can only assume a restraining order arriving out of the blue would be enough to annoy, and possibly, provoke a response!
