I can relate to what your going through. About a year and a half ago, while high on alcohol, and taking my antidepressant medication at the same time, I threatend my ex-wife with physical harm. I sent her a text message which frightened her to the point that she had to call the police and have me arrested. To this day, I can't believe I did what I did. So out of character for me.
Anyway, she had told the police not to take me to jail, instead I went to a mental health department at the local hospital. I was there for about two weeks. Needless to say my relationship was destroyed. Last year my wife lost her mom who she was very close to and she called on me for support.
Without any hesitation I was there for her. However, as time went on I felt that she didn't appreciate my support. To make a long story short I had to be arrested again. She had an order of protection issued against me, and when she wouldn't return my phone calls, I broke into the house. Not only that I also went so far as to let the air out of all four tires of her car.
Yes... you guessed it.... I was drinking again!!! What a fool!!!.
She called the police and they came to arrest me and I spent thirty days in jail for that behavior. It was a horrible experience because I was never incarcerated before in my entire life.
So if it's any consolation to you, seven days in jail is better that thirty days.....
Good luck to u and I wish u all the best.

We found out today that with what we have paid in court costs and fines and since I have completed all of my community service, anger management and substance abuse classes; It is no longer benefitting us for me to be on probation. My restitution is over 80% complete. We can't do this anymore.
We've taken a pay cut of one third to our income. It has been so time consuming and absolutely humbling. I've followed the cheese through the rat maze and I don't want it anymore. We called the judge and revoked my own probation: I am going to jail.
I'll be gone for a little while but when I get out I'll be completely done. My charge will be "Deferred", I will owe no more money, and I won't have to go anywhere ever again unless I want to. I am too ballsy to turn myself in. I am taking the numbers off my house tomorrow and my husband is going to change his cell phone number. I'm gonna just stay in my house. Whenever I get arrested, as is inevitable, I can only be held for up to seven days; it's worth it to me.
I don't know where to put this so I'll leave it here unless there's a better place for it that I'm unaware of. Any thoughts? Not asking for legal advice, just maybe a "What would you do?" etc. Thanks.
