[quote=Anonymous]RJ is great…for the perpetrator - and those who just don’t want to deal with consequences. In our family (my siblings/parents not my kids/DH) one brother stole money from my sister and put her in a compromised position at her job because of it. Things really spiraled for sister. Rather than see the truth of the situation, my parents, wanted my sister to just ‘move on’ with no consequences to a-hole brother and the one brother who is so holier than thou for every other situation found it inconvenient to side with sister so instead started insisting on the healing power of restorative justice. What that ended up in practice was ‘all is forgiven’ (forgotten!!!) for my brother’s evil and my sister was cast as breaking up the family because she was unhappy. The ‘work’ of RJ never happened-just head in the sand.  distanced myself from parents and me, sister and another brother see each other but the three of us and our families will not go to any family events where those two brothers might be. They’re the golden children in parents eyes and we ‘just can’t let it go.’[/quote]
