Most things in life are easily faked. I just related what I have been a part of in the past.
You are absolutely on the right track, fix you and the world will be a better place.
I applaud your plan for self improvement. I was expanding on your original question about how to demonstrate to the court that you are on a path of self awareness and improvement. Most judges sense the sincere from the staged. As one Dad said to his Son; "To thine own self be true" is Polonius's last piece of advice to his son Laertes. If you can be this then you can't be false to others.
Good Luck,
Jon
