  • Adrian, I understand the temptation to lash out, you must be very frustrated with all of these things going on that you have no control over, but please, PLEASE DO NOT DO IT.  The last thing you need on top of the troubles you already have is the criminal justice system interfering with your life.  Your current situation will seem like a cakewalk compared to the hoops you'll be forced to jump through after a conviction.  And on top of that, as others have said, people are naturally protective of their children.  They're going to be a lot more cautions of allowing you around their children if they think there's a chance you could become violent.
