It's over.
What began on January 13th 2003* with a broken arm, is officially over.
We reached a settlement after just about an hour and a half.
Not a huge settlement but it was enough to where the teens mom finally had to take some responsibility for what her son did to Sebastian that day.
I'm happy with it and mostly happy that it's over.
I have too much else going on in my life to have to keep doing this thing for another year or more ya know?
We could have taken it to civil trial but I said push just a hair more and see if they budge and my lawyer pushed and they did.
They aren't happy with the settlement but it's done.
* Yes I did mess up the date. I had 2001 in my mind for another reason. Thanks for putting me straight.

That is GREAT news!!!! Although the settlement won't make up for all the kid - then his mother! - did, but at least it is making them take responsiblity finally.
*BIG HUGS* Way to go for hanging in there. Right is right.

I'm glad it's over and you guys don't have these court dates and things hanging over your heads anymore.

They wouldn't have been happy with any settlement. I'm happy it's overwith for you. I can't believe it was that long ago! 2001? Jeez.

Wow, I remember when that happened....I didn't think it was in 2001, though....those years have flown by fast!
I am glad that it's over for you, though.....those people were total bitches to have to deal with.

Wow, this is good news. Finally some resolution and vindication for you. I'm glad you won't have to cross the mother's path anymore, either.
