My question involves criminal law for the state of: Connecticut

I was in a domestic dispute that requires me to go to court ordered classes. The problem is that I won't be able to because I have no resources being from out of the state. (no transportation, nowhere to live, etc) I do not know the best way to handle this situation because I have never been in trouble my entire life. I was already told that the charges will be dropped if I go to these classes, but I do not know what to do. I have only been to arraignment so far and they didn't let me speak at all and I am afraid on my next court date they will suppress my voice again. It is VERY important to me that the judge understands my situation otherwise she/he will interpret this as a lack of desire to do what it takes. So...
1. If I tell the judge the position I am in and how it makes attendance of these classes impossible, will a fair and practical arrangement be made for me that's actually do-able?
2. If I am "s.o.l" what is likely to happen to me from not being able to make it to these classes?
You need to check into whether or not the same or similar classes are offered online. If they are, then asking for permission to take them online because its not possible for you to attend brick and mortar classes in the state would be better than stating that you cannot take them. If taking them online is not possible then asking if you can take a similar class or classes in the state where you will be living is also a better option than simply saying that you cannot take them.
