What to do about this situation with my parents?

I would like to help you the best way that I know how. I do not know the exact situation, but it just might be that your dad has found something out about this guy in order for him to not only request for a restraining order to be put on him, but also to have a judge in a court of law agree for this to be so. I really cannot comment because I do not know the stipulations of the whole situation. Realize that your dad loves you and that he is just trying to keep you safe and out of harms way. That is what being a parent is all about. Talk to your dad on a mature level and ask him what the reason was that he put this restraining order on your mom’s boyfriend. Sometimes when adults are in a new relationship, they dont exactly see the bad things that are going on around them. We “ADULTS” arent know-it-alls and we too make mistakes. Your mom might be making a mistake with this new guy and she doesnt see it. You need to focus on you. I know that you love your mom and your dad. Sometimes they dont get along and sometimes they will make accusations about each other. True, your dad might be jealous, but I personally do not think that that is his reasoning behind getting the restraining order against your moms boyfriend. Try to sit down and have a heart to heart with your dad. If your mom is going to move then she is going to move. There really isnt anything that you can say or do to stop her. She will realize this when she makes this decision for herself. I know that we want to help our parents. I am 30 and I try to help my parents and for the most part they do not listen, but you know what? They will say the same thing about us…HA. That they try to help us and that we do not listen. That we have to make our own mistakes and find out for ourselves…right from wrong…Its funny that we think that our parents are still learning. LOL… Well, I hope that I have been some help. Funmail me if you want to talk about this further. Good luck. Stacey
