A:
I don't think anyone can give you the reassurance you appear to be looking for. Mostly, you're asking us to predict the future.
Is it possible? If all of the facts align correctly, if the Judge sees it from your perspective. Yes, it's technically possible.
It's very likely going to be very difficult to win with the situation you have outlined. The odds are particularly in your favor. You really should get a consultation with an attorney (or see if you qualify for a court appointed attorney). That way, you can have a detailed, frank discussion about the situation without risking saying things that might later be used against you. That attorney could help you evaluate the facts and help you determine the best course of action going forward.
