None of that matters if you are dead. If someone is out to kill you, go hide with relatives, some ways not too close. Don't serve them with a restraining orde

- hyperpape 13y agoFair enough for that literal description, meaning that the parent poster was sloppy. But at some point between an unfriendly breakup and literal threats of murder, the restraining order is the right response. I think that's the key point.
- einhverfr 13y agoOh sure. I would even say a "credible threat of murder."

Take my children (If I had them) out of school? For how long? This person may know exactly who all your relatives are and where they live, thus know exactly where to find you anyways.
- hyperpape 13y agoI think the real answer is "don't take advice from HN". I know someone who moved halfway across the country to avoid domestic violence. Sometimes it is an answer. It shouldn't ever need to be, but in reality, it's sometimes the only option a woman has available.
