My attendance is completely for my own well being, not to manipulate the court. What is probably going to happen is mandatory anger management classes. This has never happened before and I wasn't exactly beating my husband. I was in a drunk blackout and pounding on his chest crying acting like an ass. My problem is alcohol and I'd prefer to be ordered to AA since that is where I need to be. I'll be attending regardless of what the court decides. Who would I ask to write a letter? A sponsor? It seems like they wouldn't accept that. Isn't that something easily faked?
