In a very dark place in my life right now

I'm probably going to add more details later.

Since the night of July 1, I've been in Nassau County Prison, held for a half month based on he said/ she said hearsay. And no proof, whatsoever. It seems in this country, it's guilty until proven innocent. And that's if they feel like bothering to run a proper investigation that'll prove you innocent.

I was arrested for breaking and entering and burgulary. I entered my mom's home, which I moved out of in early March, with my spare key that they didn't know about in order to pick up Wii accessories and my PSP, as well as miscellaneous items such as toiletries that I had left behind. I made the mistake of not calling ahead of time. I rang the doorbell, and no one was home so I walked in to get my stuff real quick.

My older step-sister- not blood-related- saw me on my way out and asked me why I'm there since I moved out under not-so-good terms. I apologized, hugged her, and left. She promptly then called the police on me claiming I came in through the window and stole $800 from the office drawers.
That was not my intention, and that was not how things transpired.
So much for family. They're dead to me now.

I asked the detectives, officers, and lawyers why they won't compare my fingerprints to those taken at the crime scene. This would exonerate me completely.

When I was arrested, my car was impounded. Now I'm out of jail, fortunately with no criminal record due to the deal my lawyer made with the district attorney and judge. But, I still have to pay back the $800 I never took. Worst part is, the impound fee is an outrageous and exorbitant $1200 to retrieve my car, so I'm just going to fork over my title and move on.

For the first time in my life I've been entertaining suicidal thoughts. I don't like how things are turning out at all, especially after it was seemingly getting better prior to this big incident. Why?... is what I've been asking myself...

Well gee, it seems like a ****ty situation, but how can you get suicidal thoughts now? You got out of it, sucks that you have to pay. There must be a reason for your step-sister to call the cops on you, as you moved out "on not-so-good terms". I'm not gonna tell you what you should have done and how it should have went.

You should look forward on what your next step is and what you want to do. Use this expierence to contemplate and think about what it is that you truly want most, then strive to achieve it.

Believe me, suicide is the last thing you should be thinking about now.

On related note; The system of "guilty until proven innocent" is ********.

 

[StealthyGunnar]

Terrible situation. But did only your step sister call the police? If it wasn't your whole family, only she should be dead to you, right?

But good luck on getting your **** together. Hang in there, and you'll be alright.

Life isn't ****, and it isn't great.

Life is a lottery at every corner. Your life could take a turn for the worse or an amazing turn for the better. No, you can't really predict which way either. Just keep living your life and it'll take you somewhere.

 

[Man of Popsicle]

I believe what Teran meant to say was: "oh-bla-di, oh-bla-dah, life goes on, something, la lalala life goes on."

 

[DTP]

Suicidal thoughts?
I'd be thinking of homicidal thoughts D:<

But seriously dude, that sucks so hard. I'm sorry to hear you went through all this ****.
Must be more than tough.

 

[El Nino]

Well, I think you have a couple choices here (suicide not being one of them). Is it possible for you to take legal action against your family for making false accusations against you? If you were ordered by the court to pay the $800, you may have no choice at the moment, but you could consider talking to an attorney about your options.

The other thing you could do is to pay the amount and just walk away, start over, move on from this. You seem to want nothing to do with your family, and I can't blame you. If you have thoughts of suicide, maybe you can talk to someone, or a professional, or call a hotline. Those services are there if you need them.

You just got released, and it looks like the worst of it is over. Seems like a waste to throw it all away. This is your chance to move on and make something of your life. Your family and the legal system screwed you over, but don't let them have the final word on your life, is what I'm trying to say.

 

[Alex Strife]

E , first off, CALL ME you have my number lets talk dude.

 

[Browny]

Errr... you missed a rather critical detail in your story.

Was there was an actual burglary on the same night when you entered the house? You didnt make it clear, using the term 'crime scene' implies there was, which would complicate things.

 

[Teran]

I believe what Teran meant to say was: "oh-bla-di, oh-bla-dah, life goes on, something, la lalala life goes on."

I'm glad you don't officially speak for me.

 

[Zeroxius]

Well if you wait long enough, there will come along a good thing. Life is constantly changing from happy highs to sad lows based on your current situation. Something bad happened, so the only thi g that could happen is for your life to improve.

Suicide is not an option. There are people that would miss you (myself included). I think that the lesson learned here is that your family is untrustworthy. So just say "screw that. I'm movin on." I would also take legal action against them if possible. And who bases convictions off of word of mouth anyway? Wtf is wrong with the world?

 

[Janne]

I don't think it's a wise choice to just see your family as dead. Well not until you have a good talk with them. Before that though, you should keep your emotions in check and be calm since you know you didn't do anything wrong. Who knows it could just have been your stepsister's fault and she may have just sweet-talked your family into believing her. You may not be in good terms with your family but if I were in your place I certainly wouldn't want to make it worse. Tell your parents and step parents that you didn't do it. If they don't believe you, it's no longer your problem and just leave the whole situation alone. Most especially talk with your stepsister and ask why she did such a thing.

 

[UberMario]

Suicide is never the answer, your step-sister is a greedy you-know-what and you should figure out a way to counter[sue] what she did terribly to you [non murderously of course]. Has your mother said anything about the situation? If she's your blood mother I'm sure she'd have at least some understanding of the situation.

 

[Purtle]

Well that sucks. I don't feel like repeating what everyone else said, so I won't
