My T just called back and I talked to him for awhile. He told me to avoid my mother, she is a real threat to me physically and emotionally. He said to have my DH go to the viewing while I stay in the car, and he can check to see if she is there or has been there by looking at the sign in book. If the coast is clear, then I can go in with my DH. He said it is best if my kids don't go in case I do meet up with her. It is my safty and my DH and my kids he is concerned about.
My mom is crazy and has a gun on her because she is a security guard. I can't get an restraining order on her because she hasn't caused physical harm in the last 7 years to me or my family. My lawyer said even threats to kill me aren't good enough proof, even if I have them in writing, in Indiana, there has to be physical harm done. I guess it is harder to get restaining orders now then before.
I am so glad I talked to my T today. He has a way just keep me calm and to think of solutions to help me. I didn't get much sleep last night because I had 3 nightmares of my mom trying to kill me. I am really still scared of her. I hope this isn't going to be a relapes of PTSD. I don't want to go through all of that again. Maybe that is another reason my T wants me to avoid her.
Thanks Alexandra and B2 for your advice, along with my T, I think I will have to think about what to do and how to do it.
