[QUOTE="Elsieshaye, post: 486587, member: 12928"] I think you did the right thing. And, oh my goodness, what a lightbulb moment for me reading the line I quoted above. I spent a couple of years giving difficult child a sizeable allowance every week because, at the root of it, I was scared he'd shoplift and get arrested again if I didn't. I was totally trying to protect him from himself, which was so NOT my proper job. I didn't see it for what it was until you posted that, so thank you. [/QUOTE]
