... The restraining order was granted, and she was served tonight. It's bittersweet considering that I treated this girl like a daughter. I definitely feel safer and more secure right now.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 844118 In most ways you are safer now. But she is likely to attempt a number of things. Here some things to be on the look out for:
*Identity theft. You can put a 'flag' on your credit reports. I am not sure about how to do this, but I imagine your bank's customer service could give you some direction on it.
*Stealing your mail. Get a Post Office box
*Breaking and entering. Change your locks immediately. Get the locksmith's advice on really sturdy locks!
*Vandalism. Make sure your homeowner's policy is up to date. Maybe install a few more outdoor lights, increase the wattage of your existing porch light bulbs, install a motion detector type "game camera" (all of this things could be done for a couple of hundred dollars)
*Arson. Make sure your neighbors know to call the police immediately if they see anybody -- especially her --around the outside of your house, doing anything except under the direction of you or your husband.
*Abducting your grandson. While I do not know the status of your legal "custody" -- be prepared for her to "nab" your grandson. No playing alone in the yard, things like that.
Make sure your grandson has your phone numbers and address memorised.I'm just kind of bummed because a job I interviewed for today, that I really thought I was perfect for, I did not get. Perhaps it's because I need to be here for my GS as CPS is now looking for my grandsons mom now too. She will have to face responsibility now for her actions, and I know that's going to be a hard road but I know I did the right thing.

Tell us how things are going. My guess is that she does not quietly fade away.
