[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 545062, member: 13542"] Interesting thought, restitution. Well, I would say yes, that's part of responsibility, right? I just gave my difficult child a detailed list of all the money I just spent on her in the last 2 months, a lot of it spent for the problems she encountered in her last jail stay .I told her I expect to be paid back. I may never get that money back, however, when I finished writing that list and gave it to her, it made a difference [I]to me[/I]. I could see right there in black and white what it cost me. The act of committing your ideas to paper, detailing your expectations, making it very, very clear, may be a cathartic experience for you. And, then to be in an 'official' courtroom when you submit your well thought out document may have a bigger impact on your difficult child as well. [/QUOTE]
