So let her continue to act like a crazy person while you ignore her (except of course if she crosses the lines when it comes to the restraining order, but even then, be polite and let her know kindly that she is violating the order)...............

And like I said in my last post, keep documenting, and seriously, seriously get a digital voice recorder. This broad obviously thinks she's righteous and never wrong and is most likely a compulsive liar. Keep that little recorder with you in case she DOES violate the restraining order and if/when you have to use it make sure you keep it hidden (like in your purse, but allow the microphone to "peep" out the top as you hold it so you can get her voice clearly)....... I have a feeling she WILL end up violating the order, so you really need to be prepared! (don't forget Mace just in case of a REALLY bad scenario!..... and even a camera/video recorder on your phone can help big time!)

I hope all works out. Hopefully karma comes through and whoops her butt!
I agree and it is important that the OP and her daughter do not do anything to these people. They both could have recorders, waiting for one of them to say something and turn it back on them.

I'm so happy to read that you made it through the hurtle OP. The Have you hired an attorney yet? You really need one, I'd also ask at the courthouse what type of attorney would be best in this situation, and if they could recommend one. It's different when you enter a courtroom and you have your attorney at your side. You say nothing and he presents everything.She wouldn't be so mouthy. You sure have a class A case of harassment.

I still think this woman sounds like an obsessing psychopath. Flat out, she's dangerous, IMO.

Restraining order anyone? My blood is boiling just reading your post. This woman needs a good blanket party. Call the police whenever she is harassing your daughter. What's the worst that would happen? You can document over and over what she is doing and hopefully this will get her to stop...or get her locked up! (I know some cops that will probably want to wring my neck for writing this...all the paperwork!)

A blanket party...I have not heard that term since the days when my dad would tell me about boot camp in the Marines! You might have the best advice yet

She should definitely call the police every time she crosses her eyes! This woman sounds crazy!

If the "system" isn't working, 1, you could move away, or, if that's not an option, and you have the money, you could always anonymously hire someone to start stalking her -- turn the tables on her and give her something else to focus on and something to worry about.

Sadly we had something similar happen to us last year with a rather unstable neighbor/parent/school volunteer. The Principal, School Board, School Liason Officer, Cops the whole shabang were involved.
To cut a long story short ... several neigbors/parents (some I didn't even know) came forward on my behalf and informed the Principal of some of the outrageous stunts the woman had pulled in the past, and what she was upto at present. Several parents were actually considering pressing harrasment charges against her. Until then the Principal was under the impression that this woman was wonderful and that her kids could do no wrong. The parent finally tripped herself up when she harrassed a school employee on school grounds regarding the whole situation.

Thankfully, it didn't have to go as far as your case. She was her own undoing in the end and the cops (I think) told her.

I hope you are making headway with this. I certainly know how uncomfortable it all is. Just stay well away from her and her family. You are doing the right thing!

How is your daughter coping with it all? Stay strong and hang in there!

I don't understand how ADULTS end up acting this way. It all sounds so CHILDISH! (Can I ask..... in GCBSPOKE'S case AND TET TEA's case..... were both of these women stay at home moms????) Cuz that is the only explanation I can come up with. They are UTTERLY BORED with their lives and sit and watch too many soap operas and have nothing better to do but think up craziness and then act it out! UGH! I hate drama!
