[QUOTE="1905, post: 568895, member: 2668"] I'm really glad you are not enabling him. You cannot agree to meet him. We had a restraining order on our difficult child. After a few years he began to grow up and take care of himself, he worked, became responsible and we forgot about it. This past summer my family went to Canada to visit my father in law. difficult child was in his truck with easy child, husband. me and easy child were in another car. We showed our passports and went throught he border first. difficult child was detained. It was the restaining order that I never dropped. They called the police. Meanwhile, difficult child is fine, perfect, but because of that the police came. They made a judgement call and let him go, I had to explain the reason we had taken it out and that's why he could leave. Otherwise, he'd be in jail in Maine. The next day I had it removed, I had to go to the court and tell a judge all about difficult child. You put that RO in place for a reason. You didn't "do" anything, he did. I know you feel bad about the situation, but it's not your doing and he knows what he has to do to change his situation. Maybe this will be his final straw to turn his life around. I'm glad you're not listening to lies, we know it's all lies, I've been there too, hugs. [/QUOTE]
