Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

Ok me and my kids father got into a domestic dispute and there was an activate restraining order. At the time I made the pressed charges I was really upset but now I don't want to proceed with them, But he has a hearing coming up and if I don't show up will there be a possibility they will throw the case out if they don't find reasonable cause for a felony?
