Corey, I think you should really start looking into some night classes, as well, they have financial aid. You're obviously really good with your graphics program, so you might want to look into getting at least a degree in graphics design, since you already have an eye. I know you need a job right now, but I can't even begin to tell you the difference in salary a degree makes. It will take awhile, but it would be worth it in the end for you and the kiddos, especially if you're taking out the trash. (Nobody should ever be made to feel worthless, you're showing your kids that it's okay for someone to treat them like that if you stay or don't fix it)
A lot of corporations will compensate for college courses, so it's something to look into, even if it's just a couple of classes a semester. My MIL, while annoying, has been working on her degree for the past 5 years, I've seen how much it's improved her self-confidence, and more importantly, her self-worth. You need to get back to a place where you can look at yourself in the mirror and love who you see, please don't let anybody beat you down.
I've "known" you for a few months now, and I think you are an amazing, intelligent, eloquent woman, you need to find your strengths and bolster them.
Please please please, listen to us, we know how wonderful you are, it's too bad he doesn't. ((hugs))
