I grew up in a small town and moved to a larger city almost four years ago. I would say I have my ducks in a row, since moving. I want to move back to a close city where I grew up at in a few years. I miss my family horribly. In four years, I still don't consider my new place, home. I am around family I love, but I miss my real family. The only problem is my son's father lives close to their. He lost visitation rights to our son because of drinking and anger-management. I feel living here gives us enough space to where he will not harass me. One of the reasons we moved is to get away from him. I have a nine year old son and I finish college in a year. Should I stay away from where I want to move or move and deal with the static?

He's just another small bump on the road that you can just easily pass over it. I also agree with the answer below me, lead this situation to court if this man's intention is going to harm you and your son. Get a lawyer if needed and discuss the reasons of why you wish to keep this man away. Also you don't have to handle this alone, you can ask your friends and even family to aid you into settling this problem.
Nothing is better than a place called home. Do what makes you and your son comfortable and happy. Don't let anything or anyone stop you from finding your happiness!

If you're unhappy where you are living and miss your family it's a no brainer. If he harasses you all you need to do is tell the judge.
Let him/her know that you moved away only because he scared you. They won't let him get away with that junk for long. If you don't want him around period you can get an order preventing him from contacting or visiting you. He's already unable to see the kids for his behavior.
I suggest talking to your lawyer about this and your family about wanting to move back and move on without this guy but not run anymore. If you want him permanently out of your life and your kid's lives you can do that. You'll have to demonstrate the reasons why.
He continues to victimize you and hold you and the kids hostage so you have to break free from that and do what you want to do. He can't harass you or intimidate you without it counting against him in court. Go home! [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
