[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're lucky people call you to let you know what she is saying about you. In my case, only one person has every done that for me. In every other case, they distance themselves without telling me why. Good luck OP -- what does your lawyer say? I'd be curious to hear it too.[/quote]

Funny enough, I have thought of this. I wonder how many people she's contacted that haven't mentioned it to me. I've also had a few people mysteriously delete me from Facebook. So, it's probably even more widespread than I realize.  OP[/quote]

Sickening thought. Hate to say it, but it probably is more widespread than you know.

The only thing about the restraining order is that - even though I think you should file it - you should also prepare yourself emotionally for possible consequences resulting from that filing by consulting with experienced professionals. Your mother's probably going to be furious about the boundaries that a restraining order imposes on her, and you should probably expect some strange, unwanted behavior to follow.

I'm going through similar things with my family. I'm well aware that they're capable of doing what your mother has been doing to you, so I've been very, very careful about my distancing strategies. Luckily, most of them have careers that could be affected if I had to take legal action, so I at least have some leverage.[/quote]
