Gwen,
Right now your fate lies in anothers hands. There is a lesson to be learned here, that is to manage your life so that you are in control of it, and that bad decisions can result in bad results.
You are to be applauded for taking positive steps in the right direction. I sincerely hope the judge sees it that way, too.
I know that you have a bright future ahead of you, Madam Dolly and I can just feel it..it is in the cards.
You know I care, and, that I am in your corner.
Love,
Dolly
