A.Hello,
I'm really sorry to hear that you're dealing with such a difficult situation. If you're facing abuse from your adult son, it's important to prioritize your safety and well-being. Here are some general suggestions on seeking legal action:

Ensure your safety: If you or anyone else in the household is in immediate danger, it's crucial to prioritize your safety. If necessary, contact emergency services or local authorities to protect yourself and seek immediate assistance.

Document incidents: Keep a record of any incidents of abuse, including dates, times, and descriptions of what occurred. Take photographs of any visible injuries or property damage resulting from the abuse. Documentation can serve as evidence should you decide to pursue legal action.

Seek legal advice: Consult with an advocate who specializes in family law or elder abuse. They can provide you with specific guidance based on your jurisdiction's laws and help you understand your rights and legal options.

Obtain a restraining order: If you believe that you or other family members are in danger, you can seek a restraining order or protection order against your son. This legally prohibits him from approaching or contacting you and provides a legal remedy if the order is violated.

Report the abuse: Depending on your jurisdiction, you may need to report the abuse to the appropriate authorities, such as adult protective services, social services, or the police. They can investigate the situation and take necessary actions to protect you and hold your son accountable for his actions.

Remember, these are general suggestions, and it's important to consult with an attorney who can provide you with tailored advice based on your specific circumstances and the laws in your jurisdiction.
