I've often thought of what I would do in your situation...

Move from the area? Cost money to do that, and where would you move.

Get gov assistance and hit a technical school? Time, money---not sure how old you are?

Again--- it's easy to make suggestions from where I sit--- but man it must be hard for you.

Keep fighting the fight.
