What To Look Forward To In Court For 4th Degree Assault?
Last night I got into it with my parents. I slapped my dad after he grabbed me and refused to let go of me, no matter how many times I told him to. I finally managed to wiggle loose one of my arms and slapped him because I was already so angry and triggered from years of trauma and abuse, I just wanted him to let me go and he continued to trigger me and out of trauma and reactivity slapped him. My mom told him to call the police, he did.
It’s my first time ever laying a hand on him, prior to this incident my mother had already said “your kids love me more than they love you” and my dad had said “Kai (biological cousin/adoptive brother living with us since 2023, he is trans and my dad refuses correct pronouns) has been a better daughter to us since being here than you ever have.” My mom has always been emotionally abusive and my dad both physically and emotionally abusive.
I ended up going to jail for about 17-18 hours, despite them saying they didn’t want to press charges and the numerous times he’s been physical with me and I’ve done nothing, but have panic attacks. My mom said she just wanted me to stop, she said they never wanted me to go to jail and didn’t realize I would. I have never been in trouble prior to this. I have court July 20th, what should I look forward to? If anymore context is needed to answer my question accordingly, please ask in the comments.
