Wow, herdarkness, your story makes me want to cry!
I am so sorry for what you had to go through, but I know exactly how you feel,
the anger, bitterness, frustration. Believe me, in time it gets better.

Don't feel bad about not having a good education. My girlfriend never graduated from high school
but she has a decent job in medical billing.

Love, Melanie

and if that avatar is your picture then you are wrong - you are beautiful!
