Hi TnT,
I am glad to hear that you are ready to fight because you will need too. Your H is use to the Power Over you. You will have to fight every step of the way to gain that power back.
I want you to start with these little steps. If I understand correctly you have a restraining order. Correct? When he comes to the house call the police. If they refuse to respond inform their boss. I went to the boss of my detective in charge and made an official complaint. I also said I would not quit going to the top till I received satisfaction. I started off nice and became a major thorn in the side. I want you to find out the person in charge and make a complaint.
Second change the locks and your phone number. DO NOT GIVE THE NUMBER TO ANYONE THAT MIGHT GIVE IT TO YOUR H!!! As far as your son goes I think it is time to inform him that his behavior will end towards you. Like it or not you love him and tough love is in order. In my life long restaraining order my ex nor any family member may contact me. Work off that premise. NO more contact and this would include your son. If your H has visitation talk to your local abuse shelter and have them as a third party. They should be more than willing to help. And you should not call your H at all. As part of the restraining order my guess is you are not to contact either. This means your son will have to call from some place else. And no talking to his family at all about anything.
I have a link for you to start investigating if someone will give you pro bono address for MN. Since I have no idea what part here is for everything.
