Thanks Cedar,

I am going to talk more about this with my T . I talked to my lawyer 3 years ago about this, so maybe things have changed. But my T said he would help me get a protection order, so maybe with his words, it would help, rather than a lawyer.

Did the protection order help you? I don't think my mom would allow that to get in her way if she wanted to harm me. But he told me a paper trail would be helpful in keeping her away from my kids if something ever happened to my husband, which is one reason I am still married to him.
