Pants on fire

By Anonymous - 04/12/2009 02:17 - United States

Today, my mom admitted that her story about my dad leaving us for his current wife was a lie. He left when he caught her with a coworker. She blocked his number and got a restraining order to keep him from telling his side of the story. I haven't talked to my dad for six years because of this. FML

FYL. Hopefully you call your dad and try to build a relationship with him and get away from your mom. She's the kind of woman that will rot your life if you don't get away as soon as you can.

Restraining orders are not just given out on demand... the matter would be investigated and if the father gave 2 ***** about it, it wouldn't go through.

The court system is more ****** up than you realize.

Yeah, in some states a judge can grant a restraining order ex parte - without ever consulting the accused or viewing evidence. I've never heard of one lasting six years, though.

Yeah right. Restraining orders rain down like water. Plus as a man you're at a disadvantage anyways. Hell if your wife hits you in the head with a baseball bat and you're bleeding from the head, you'll probably still get taken away in a domestic disturbance call

I'm sorry but if I had a wife and she were to hit me in the head with a bat and I was still conscious, she would be having to find a new man who can pay for the new nose job she would need. Equal rights, fight like a man you're going down like a man.

My sister somehow manages to get restraining orders on ex's...even when she's the abusive one. She's a sociopath with no conscious...also, a great liar. Her ex hasnt seen his son in over a year...closer to two, I believe. Partly his fault, mostly hers. He is so terrified of what else she can do to him that he just stays away.

haha that's what you'd THINK. My mum got TWO restraining orders, one against my dad and one against my grandpa, both for no real reason (or made-up reasons that were lame anyway - 'he banged on the door too hard when he came to pick up my son - he's threatening to bring down my house!! aaaa'). It's called an interim restraining order and technically they shouldn't allow ones with lame excuses - it does sound illegal, but the thing is IT HAPPENS and don't tell me it doesn't because it happened to me. My mum stopped my dad from contacting me or my brother for a month using a bloody restraining order he didn't deserve. Yeah, the police really are hopeless.

I know what you mean. I found out 6 months ago that my mom lied to me about my dad my entire life and kept him from trying to reach me. Im 19 and just meeting my dad, so I understand how hard it is to catch up for lost time.

A restraining order with no investigation whatsoever is unheard of where I live, where you can be a violent psycho flipping the **** out, but not get arrested until you actually hurt somebody.

It doesn't say anything anywhere about the guy getting arrested. If you're talking in terms of why the father wouldn't violate the restraining order as he probably wouldn't get arrested, you can call the cops if they violate the distance that's stated in the restraining order.

It's possible that the father thought it would be more damaging to the children if he engaged in a legal war with the mother.

I woul move in with my dad if I where you. Your mom apparently can't be trusted, how can she be the best parent for you. Good luck, but have to agree your life sucks!

If I were you, I'd tell your mom you hope to never see her again until her funeral, and that you're no longer a part of her life. Then go live with dad and your new mom.

your mom is an ignorant ****. I hate divorced parents who lie to their children about what happened and then isolate the children so they can't be told the truth.

Well, I agree, FYL. Still, we're obviously missing some part of the picture. How could she obtain a restraining order, full custody, and prevent him from ever seing you again if there's nothing wrong with your father ? Either he went postal at the time, or didn't try that hard to reach you. Or a bit of both.

Apparently it's not as hard as people think it is to get a restraining order. Again, my sister was able to get one against an ex when he never touched her. She actually coaxed him into trying to protect her against another guy and then the other guy (her new bf) was a witness to the "attack."

Yeah the problem is that the restraining order (that needed no evidence other than the wife saying "I don't feel safe") can then be admitted as evidence that there is something wrong with the husband. Once that happens, it's all downhill from there.
