My boyfriend and I recently moved in together and a few days ago we had a fight that resulted in the police arresting him and charging him with domestic abuse. They have since tried to force me to have a restraining order put in place and told me I had to go to court. I just wanted him to be able to come home but I was pulled in all sorts of directions where the folks at the courthouse even wanted me to go to a battered women's shelter.
It's a mess and neither my boyfriend or I come from families where this type of behavior is prevalent. We have talked about trying to work things out and put our relationship back on track and independently from my boyfriend, I want to put this all behind us and have everything dropped now. What is the fastest process to do this, please? Thanks.
