Legal Question in Criminal Law in Mississippi

Hi, Im meeting with the DA sometime this week to request that the charges that were filled be dropped. I know its out of my hands; Really, what Im trying to say is letting them know I no longer wish to pursue charges on my behalf. The person that hit me, it was his first offense and has never been in trouble with the law. We dated for 5 years and are no longer together. I moved away and personally am seeking anger management being that I played apart in that night. I was very confused that night and just wish none of this ever happened. I would like to sit and speak with the DA , but I don't want anything to backfire and make things worse. Ive been told it can be worth the risk , being that this is a veteran , and never been convicted or in any trouble. We are dealing with felony charges if that makes a difference. Is meeting with them a good idea?
