Domestic Violence: My Husband Was Charged with Dv 1 Because of My Ptsd, Can I Get This Dropped

My question involves criminal law for the state of: WA

my husband and I have been through losing 2 close family members, a miscarriage gone wrong, a serious car accident and my husband turned to hard drugs to cope and I to alcohol. He went on a binder and took off with our son for 4 days in a row all night. I work 3 jobs to support our family since my husbands drug use has gotten so out of control he cannot work. I didn't get any time off work while going through all these traumatic events over only 7months of time and have looked up symptoms of PTSD and believe I have it.

I confronted him when he finally came home day 4 with our son and caught him using. we got into an argument. what I reported happened, I don't think really happened now that he has been removed from the home and I know he is safe and not using, I actually have gotten some rest. I had things all mixed up in my mind from training to get my black belt in 2 weeks, which includes gun defenses, full contact sparring and choke defenses. He did take my phone, and that's what I was really mad about, so I somehow I thought he attacked me with a gun and choked me, but that was part of my intense training I have been doing. A family called the cops and brought me to the station demanding that I press charges and I felt pressured, I hadn't slept much in 5 days, or eaten, have been over worked and had been drinking the night before. I hadn't even slept but 1 hr before going to the family members house that spung into action way to quickly and even when I did the report I was half drunk, hadn't eaten or showered. I had no idea the charges the police were going to file against my husband would be felony offenses. They did find the gun in our garage, where its kept. I had said the attack happened in the upstairs bedroom. We both need to get some help, he really isn't a violent person and now our families life can be completely ruined all the hastily calling the police. His arraignment is not until this Friday, this all just happened on Thursday. our 4yr old keeps asking when daddy can come home and I am even more devastated than before. Any advice?
