Unwillful witness statement

My fiance was arrested & charged w/ drug dist., Violation of a contled subs, and contled subs violation. The swat team & the drug task force came to our house for a raid. Thy found only 50 kilo pot & $600. The police called me to the station for questioning. When i got to the pd they told me that i was going to be charged with trafficking because of 2 seeds they found in my car. They wanted me to give a verb statement saying my fience sells coccaine & had an illegal firearm, which he never had. When i told them no they threatened me by saying they would have dhs place my child in fostercare. They promised to give me my vehicles back and my stroller. I requsted a lawyer a million times. They promised that my name would not be given out. So after 2 hrs of blackmail i decided that i would tell them what they wanted to hear so i could keep my daughter. The gave my staement in words to my fiencee on his arraignment papers so i lied to be able to keep my daughter. The only things they are holding him in on is my statement. I didn't know if i should confess i lied and give another statement with a lawyer or what i should do to get this straightened out. Any help would be appreciated. They also added things to my statement that wasnt tru
