He's still trying to blame you, becaue he doesn't want to admit he was at fault. The things he "was going to do" but now, supposedly, he can't because of his criminal record are just attempts to guilt you into dropping the charges.
As far as a criminal record goes....I have one, but it's not a felony. Although some jobs are out of reach with a criminal record, there are millions more that aren't. I was even bonded while I was in a diversion center!
Let him have his pity party alone. Most people I know don't even try that attitude with me, anymore, because I will point out that they have a choice.....be miserable and feel sorry for yourself, or learn the lesson and move forward.
Keep the focus on you, sweetie....you deserve it!
Hugs and prayers!
