My son , while driving 20 miles an hour hit a lady in her car over 2 years ago. He has to go to a deposition (testimony) end of Feb with his attorney and hers. His father showed up right after the accident. The lady is claiming she can't work the rest of her life. She decided to sue . Right after the accident, she got out and hugged my son and was laughing. My husband went to the scene and also saw the lady walking around. They said they heard her husband say she might have problems down the road. The problem is he doesn't want to go with our son to see both attorneys for the deposition. He says our son is old enough to face it alone since it was his fault. I told him he was there later and he should go just for support. I think he is being self centered as always. He says I am babying him. What does others here think? (esp if you's have children) I being his mother am going to go. He never even went to the kids teacher conferences. I bet her husband will show up.

What does your son want? That seems to me the most important thing, and you haven't said anything about what he wants.
FWIW, your son is old enough to take care of himself, and unless your husband is going to be deposed also, there really isn't much he can do to help your son. I don't think anyone outside the attorneys is even allowed in the room with someone being deposed.

You can't make your husband show up - but this isn't just an issue of "babying your son" or "he is grown up and can handle it on his own". This is serious business and court can be rough. Many familiy members go to the court for moral support. I think it is important - especially when you feel all alone and like everyone is against you. You didn't mention if you are going?

He had seen thing that are part of this he is a witness.
He should also go there for his son.
I will be there for my son now and for as long as I live. Any father would or should do the same for there child.

Tell your husband you hope he's never involved in an accident and the other person is law suit happy and he has no one on his side. He's not immune to this happening to him and he needs to remember that. Accidents happen to the best of us.
