It was nice Givelove...but shortlived, unfortuantely.
The RO does not prevent him from having any contact with his son. It's only for me. EXAH is free to contact our son as often as he likes (as long as he's not on the property of course).
EXAH's dad does not know he's out of jail because they haven't communicated much. My ex father-in-law decided not to play games with EXAH, so EXAH stopped speaking to him. EXAH was once a police officer. I know he's out of jail because his one time coworkers told me he had been released. They have pretty much been keeping an eye on us ever since EXAH was asked to leave his job.
My son and I do communicate...as much as you can with a teenager. I still think though, as a child, it's hard to not fall into that manipulation trap when you want so badly to be accepted by your father. We will continue, however, to talk about the situation.
Thanks for the wishes of peace and strength. I do tend to worry about things that may never happen. I'm working on changing that one!
