my son took irreplaceable items....(sigh...I shudder when I think of it...)
there is no way to repay with $$
I want my son to be clean healthy and sober (as teach said)
as long as I have that i'm willing and able to forget about the material possessions
part of my recovery was letting go and forgiving...
my son is now in recovery and I will not revisit the past
I always need to find ways to rationalize and on this one I simply look at it as if I was robbed by a stranger or lost it in a fire....in any case it's gone and I've moved on
I guess its a little different in your case...there is $ for repayment and you know the amount...
perhaps you could shelve this for the time being...as I recall your son is in very early recovery...
first things first
