  • Sorry it felt like I left things out. Most people here don't read long stories.

    I was mistaken about my son not having car insurance at the time. Only because more often he didn't. My son did cause the accident and left the scene.

    Initially the police found where he lived by an eye witness that got his license plate number. My son was upfront about the whole thing. Saying he was scared.

    The insurances fought it out. They didn't want to settle for doctor bills paid for and more money for in inconvenience. They are suing for $10,000,000. It is a civil case now.

    You are right. These people are shady.
    Initially the other people said their pickup truck was old, and having the dent in the bumper wasn't a problem.
    Now they are saying the passenger had a torn shoulder.

    I feel like I've failed because no matter how much I said about right and wrong, doing the right things in life, he always has had his own agenda. Not just this situation. I fear for him.
    Sometimes when he does the right thing, or just living, the universe throws crap at him. More than the normal person.

    • I missed the part where you said it was his fault. It is a hard lesson to learn, but it is his.

      Remember it isnt about you. Dont throw yourself a pity party and say oh woe is me my kid fucks up. Kids fuck up all the time. Maybe it is and maybe it isnt your fault. But your behavior isnt helping him. My mom does this and it pissed me off. Do not use guilt trips to make yyourself feel better.
