Is there anything I can do to get my abusive son to stay away from me?

Yes, there are a number of avenues you can explore:

• Find out if your province has any legislation about family violence or adults at risk. If you fit within the terms of the law, you might be able to apply for a protective order to keep your son away.
• Apply for a restraining order.
• Apply for a peace bond.
