It's getting bad again

Life had been getting better slowly.... We were happy we have a partner home life was getting better and so was school until last week. Last week had hit hard a lot of yelling from our dad and stepmom. Shaming, blaming, insults, and so much more just mental abuse. But on Sunday it all went to ***, us and our dad started fighting and yelling back and forth, cussing, insults, lies, until our stepmom got involved. Over the years we had dealt with physical and mental abuse and it freaked us out when someone tried hitting us or someone raised their voice or hit something or raised their hands to quickly. She had went to slap us and we snapped hitting her right back. And then it was a back and forth of her trying to hit us or yank us off our bed and us hitting and kicking her away.... We were scared and angry.. Then the police were called and we got arrested for Battery. (Another form of assault) But it wouldn't have been that way if we had remembered to tell our side of the story... Our stepmom hitting us is Assault do to her not being a legal guardian and luckily we have a partner who is willing to just come get us during these things.... But it's still upsetting that it all went to *** so quickly.... Our court date is April 4th 2024 at eleven am.... Or we pay 263.50 so lovely just lovely... We're gonna try and head to our mom's earlier because we can stay away from "home" for two nights where we live without it being considered running away. We don't know what to do anymore... What should we do...
