Exclamation help me please

Hi i am 6 month pregnant and 18 yrs old. Me and my boy friend (19yrs old) of almost two yrs are living together in an apartment and we are just trying to make ends meet before the baby comes. It is hard and stressful being young and trying to make everything fall into place, so i can't help it if i am overly emotional right now, i try to just take a few deep breathes and figure things out. Well me and my boyfriend usually get along pretty good but my biggest problem is i just wish he could be a little more mature and start making better choices so we can make a family, so yes i was pretty irritated when i was left home alone for hours and finally at 3 in the am he walks in the door drunk and smelling like trash. But i let it go in tell i woke up later in the morning. Well i went down stairs to reason with him but i didn't go down with the best attitude, and he didn't have the best attitude either when he woke up so right off the bat we are arguing and upset. Well one thing led to another and we are screaming and yelling he punched 2 holes in the wall and broke our coffee table, now he never physically hit me or touched me, he never would, but i grabbed is arm to get him to stop and listen to me and i also slapped him after he broke the table. The fight didn't go on for more than 20 mins when we both separated, he went outside and i went upstairs and no longer than five minutes later there was a banging at the door, so i went down stairs to see what was going on and my boy friend accompanied by 2 cops walk in the house. So i was still crying and emotional so i was having trouble talking to the cops so i just kept it simple and said we got in an argument, but my boyfriend (who at the time thought i called the cops, but later found out it was the neighbors) decided he needed to defend himself and tell them about how i hit him and just got out of hand and without realize what was going to happen basically put the blame on me. The next thing the cops did was put us both in the living room to fill out paper work, and we were both left in the dark in tell my boyfriend asks "well whats going to happen?" the cops replied well she will be going to jail and bail will be 3.000 dollars. Of course this was a shock to me because i really didn't realize how bad it was in tell they said that. So i spent my day in a half in jail and my boyfriend and mom bailed me out finally. It was horrible, i was pregnant and cold and hungry and i really had a long time to think about everything. I would never want to go back there in a million years. i have never been arrested before this and it was terrifying. Maybe things would have been different if i would have ranted on about all the things he did, but i didn't, i took the blame. Me and my boyfriend are still together and things have gotten better since that day but now i am facing some pretty big consequences.i had my first court date about two weeks ago and i pleaded no contest, which i don't know if that was a good idea because im a little foggy still on what means what, but i just got a another court date coming up on the 22nd. Since then several people have called and told my boyfriend numerous things, such as 1 women called and told him he needed to show up on my behalf so we can try and get my plee taken away and changed to not guilty so i don't end up doing more jail time or so we can just get the case dismissed , but he also got a letter saying if he didn't show up then the case might get dismissed because the might not have enough evidence to convict me. We both just want this to go away and we both regret things getting out of hand like that nd we just want to know what would be the best thing to do. If any one can give me advice on the best way to go about wendsday please email me at beautifuleisha@gmail.com. Please Please help us i don't think i can handle going back to jail and we don't have enough money to get the right help.
Sincerely Alicia M

Default Re: help me please

I would sugggest you hire counsel to negotiate a solution and keep it off your record. If you cannot afford counsel then make sure you both are at court and stress that it was a one time event and will never happen again. Ask that it please not be on your record -- assuming you have no problems for perhaps year or two.
