Legal Question in Criminal Law in Massachusetts

I did something dumb unplanned out of revenge, I thought I would just knock her credit acore down so drunk one night I applies for cards to lower her credit score I never wanted to steal or take or identity that was not the purpose I was not thinking and hadn't been diagnosed wth bi polar yet, I since then have and feel better I would never do something like that now since being on my medicine. However two years later the state of mass finally charges me and it's 9 counts of identity theft and 3 credit card fraud. I don't have a record and I'm scared a made a dumb choice for revenge and honestly not knowing the consequences. I felt so bad that within a week of doing it I confused yet they never brought charges on me till two years later. I'm scared I made a mistake that is not me and I have two young kids and as a single mom I'm afraid of jail and leaving them. I don't want to go to jail they would have no one I'm a single mom. What are the possible outcomes of this? I am getting a court appointed attorney since my boss just fired me when the charges hit the court log in the paper even though this had nothing to do wht work, and it was 2 years before I worked for them. I really just need to know am I going to jail? What are the odds, I'm a single mom and me going to jail will ruin my life. I was very depressed at the time of the incident and undiganoised with bi polar. I would never seek revenge again I honestly didn't know I could get into trouble like this. Please someone answer me!

It is impossible to tell you if you will go to jail or for how long as each case is different. A good lawyer will often get you the best outcome.
