Swore not to leave the Yeshiva

Question

My son was expelled from the Yeshiva, and I arrived at the Yeshiva, entered the headmaster's office, and swore that I would not leave the Yeshiva until he reinstates my son. I truly intended not to leave. I have been in the Yeshiva since yesterday morning (I slept in the Yeshiva), and the headmaster is not willing to compromise. What can I do?

Answer

Dear …!
You should perform Hatarat Nedarim (annulment of vows).
