[QUOTE="witzend, post: 262909, member: 99"] Susan, restraining orders are usually issued for violent situations. Has your son been violent? They also are pretty much up to the person who takes them out to enforce. It's not a magic wand that you can wave and it keeps them away, sometimes it makes people more determined to be a part of your life. The only difference when you have a restraining order happens after you call the police. They get charged with violation of a restraining order. But it doesn't necessarily keep them away, and wouldn't be appropriate if he hasn't been violent. I really don't think it would be different, because he always tells you this is what he will do when you let him come home, and then it's all a lie. What will be different is after he's been to rehab and has stopped using. [I]Then[/I] it will be different. Until he stops using, it will be the same. [/QUOTE]
