Are these friends the one who work at the shop that have been so nice to you?  It's always hard when people decide to move on and we lose having them around.

At least this place is supporting you.  Hopefully it's enough that it makes it easy enough for you to get some help and support.  This phone call this afternoon sounds like it's thrown a lot of stuff at you.  I've never been to court before, but i understand the thought of it must be daunting, but you can get through it.   I know there's so much going on, but try to think about them as individual things, rather than one big thing.  Small steps and one problem at a time.

I take it courts bring back a lot of emotions for you, and it sounds like there's a lot on the line with this one.  Just know you have us here to support you through as best we can.
