Chapter 14 - Serving Final Notice Of Restraining Orders
Two weeks after the courthouse hearing, the final restraining order enforcement papers were hand-delivered to her parents.
Two local sheriff deputies served the documents at their cramped studio apartment during breakfast hours.
The paperwork made it crystal clear that any attempt to approach Julia, Mark, or Peggy would result in immediate jail time.
Her mother reportedly suffered a minor hysterical fit, screaming about ungrateful children to the bemused apartment manager.
The manager warned them that any further public disturbances would result in immediate eviction from the property.
Word of the meltdown filtered back to Julia through a mutual acquaintance, eliciting nothing more than a quiet, knowing nod.
They were finally reaping the bitter harvest of decades of cruelty, manipulation, and conditional affection.

Her entire focus remained locked onto her husband, her home, and her wonderful daughter who called her Mom every single day.
