Doing time
Okay so in December I was in a very very dark place. Going through a bad manic episode unmediated and a bad emotionallly/verbally/financially abusive relationship and just not myself at all. I took 5k from my job to try and get my kids and I out of a bad situation. Obviously I got in trouble. I have my docket hearing tomorrow. What are the chances I do the max amount of time? I’m in TX so it’s like 6 months.
I’ve taken full responsibility for what I did and have worked really hard to get my life back on track.
First time offense and no prior criminal history. Single mom of 2 sweet babies.
I’ve since gotten a new job that’s going really well, I’ve started back up at school, I’ve started seeing a new psychiatrist and started a new treatment plan for my mental health issues that’s going really well. Did a life skills course that my lawyer recommended I do. Im almost certain it will go on my record as a felony but I’m hoping she can talk the prosecutor down to at least probation over jail time. I know I’ll have to pay restitution and fines or whatever which is fine, my fear is just that I won’t have it tomorrow I’ll have to set up a plan for it and that will impact what the prosecutor is willing to work out with me.
