[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 578591, member: 1967"] Well, overall, I think it went well. He is out of your house so he can't abuse you anymore. I think it is great that the court backed you up on the need for your difficult child to take responsibility for himself and his bills. How did he take having to leave your home? When we got a temporary protection order against our daughter, the judge warned us that the most dangerous time is often after you get the TPO since it sometimes triggers the offender to act out. I am just saying this so that you lock your doors and be careful. In our case, we weren't worried about physical harm but she was bringing heroin into our home which could have cost husband and me our teaching certificates and livelihood. Once she had nowhere to live, she agreed to go to the residential treatment center. It's okay to cry and it's okay to pray. I think we do a lot of both here on the SA forum. You fit right in. :happy: ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
