Hey Crystal,

This is a really crappy situation and I am glad you have taken responsibility for your actions. I'm in Canada, so no idea how things work down there - is there ANY chance that with you being pregnant the judge will offer leniency and allow you to at least drive for work and medical appointments? Is there any chance your case can be heard before you deliver and maybe they can reduce it to 30 days? Again, I don't know...

I take drunk driving very seriously, but you've admitted fault and taken responsibility. I wish the courts could work with you and find something to drive the message home without destroying the potential life you could be building for yourself.

I guess all I can say is - I hope it works out for you. And I hope your lawyer pulls through pretty quick so you can put this behind you and get on with your life. I'm glad you're leaving an abusive relationship; you and your baby both deserve better.
