Hey Kato,
Rick here,
Well you are right! It's important to recognise when we are in a world of shite.
You see it and that means that your perception is still reliable. Take a morsel for that.
To even be thinking jail time you must be dealing with felonies and some fairly serious ones.
Is that correct? I ask only as a sounding board to reflect it back to you for reality checking. This does not diminish the fear and worry but at the same time it never hurts to look from an other POV.
Have you engaged a mental health support service? As well as focusing on recovery they are integrated to support everything form going to colllege to support in legal matters. This can often mean expediting the normal process.

Nik made an excelleent suggestion about using the forum each day. Consider this please, isolation right now will only harm you and at the same time generate worry for you.
I know that you do not wish to burden anyone, and that is the reason you miight consider staying in the loop.
As for paying a lawyer see what you can get from the support services above, and please understand this. by making sure you are well represented you parents will lose that sense of powerlessness which is the greatest burden of all.
I don't know your history with them but if you care for them you must consider letting them care for you.
If you have f#ucked up then you are not alone. I have done so, more than I can ever regret enough and I know that many others here on the forum will say the thing.
It will take time for court proceeding to begin, so in the mean time you can focus on your health.
I ask you to please follow up on the support services. If we knew each other in person I would do it for you.
I ask also you use us as a walking stick, we cannot walk for you but we can support you as you do so.
I do not think I am alone when I say that you are important to this forum of fruitloops. You are a great support to those in need and an encouragement for all.
The future does not exist yet, the past does not exist only the present has actual form and density. Live in this presence.
Allow hope which is eternal to rise again in your being. Let it be a hope for presence. If all l other hope eludes you, hope for presence.
I will check the boards daily for your posts. I expect to see them and you can expect a reply.
This is my promise to you.
I will also pray for you and your family
No less than at any other time
Hope endures my friend
Rick
