[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 680254, member: 18958"] i will explain a little bit what i mean by saying you are responsible to your daughter. with my own son i came to the point where i believed that i was responsible only for setting limits so that i would not be so hurt by him and for something i call moral authority which I define as telling him the truth when he asks me or when I am impacted by something he has done. this is something i learned from another member here, scentofcedar. that we are responsible to tell our children the truth. we owe them that. not sugar coated. not pie in the sky dreams. the truth of this situation is that your daughter committed a felony. to my way of thinking right this minute, you do not have a right to forgive her this crime, nor should you. although anybody could understand that you might want to. if the truth be told, i think i might want to get help on this, beyond legal help. I am talking here pastoral help or therapist help or even ala-non help. because from one way of looking at things, to take over the consequences from the law, is to enable. I do not know if I would be able to the authorities, but I would sure want to, and feel i was obligated to do so if she did not follow through with a plan of restitution and treatment. copa [/QUOTE]
