witness summons

[Mrsab]

I have just heard i will be issued with a summons to attend court as a prosecution witness.
I haven't received it yet, without me there is no case, and i don't want any charges or convictions, but this UK system punishes so called victims even further by ensuring there lives are screwed beyond repair.........
after an argy bargy both at faut, a few days later my husband got arrested
I'llsave the long story,,,, I have retracted a statement, written to the Police and CPS confirming I do not support prosecution. ( Husband is defendant)

The officer in charge of my case has given a view she feels i am doing that because i am scared, even though i have told her several times thats not the case i just want my husband back home and get on with my life.

I have 4 kids, youngest is 3 months old and the rest are in primary school, how can i make all this go away,
I will not attend court, i have read about about summons etc, failing to attend contempt etc so save me all that pls
pls advise if anyone can, i will not turn up ( dont advise me to do so because i wont my statement was exaggerated i was very angry someone said my husband was having an affair and i believed it without any collaboration, i have since found out the bitch was rejected by my husband and she lied to me)
I am so sorry for what has happened and I cant afford for any further aggravation with my life, what will they likely do to me if i do not attend,,,,,, i am yet to find out if my huby will have me back anyway,,,,, either way i wont live with m,yself if anything happenms to him, his job, i'm so upset and angry with myself

97(2) If a justice of the peace is satisfied by evidence on oath of the matters mentioned in subsection (1) above, and also that it is probable that a summons under that subsection would not procure the attendance of the person in question, the justice may instead of issuing a summons issue a warrant to arrest that person and bring him before such a court, as aforesaid at a time and place specified in the warrant; but a warrant shall not be issued under this subsection where the attendance is required for the hearing of a complaint.
