Thank you Lizbeth!
My car is in the shop for at least another week. Damge was nearly $3400! They said I hit something small and it was red. It did a lot of damage and I dont have rental car insurance (I cancelled that because we have to have the kids on the policy and the premiums were insanely high).
Now the positives regarding all this…..
My husband was driving me to work when the school resource officer called about the teen investigation. I was able to get off from work and his dad was too. The officer was adamant that we come to the school this morning. I am not sure that we both would have been there if I had my car. I am sooooo glad that both of us were there. It showed a united front of support for our son. He needed that. We met with the officer, the Dean, and the other teen’s mother. The teens signed a no contact contract and the parents, we signed too. What could have been criminal charges were not pursued. My son was told that he would have been in legal trouble if the investigation continued. I am praising God that this will go no further. Our son was the resulting victim, but because of his own actions, this could have been very serious for him. It could have resulted in permanent stains on his record and potentially keeping him from going to college or being eligible in certain fields of work.. This has been a real eye opener for him and I pray it changes his future for the better.
I am wiped out, stomach was in knots and now the tension headache, as all the stress is resolving, is setting in. I need a massage. My husband is playing a video game where he gets to shoot aliens and I think he is destressing that way! When our kids get in trouble, parenting becomes the most frighteningly hard job Ever.
