I'm stuck and wouldn't be if I had just been allowed to go to school

Everything that makes a living wage requires credit for Algebra 1. I also need to take Chemistry and Biology--both of which I would have taken in high school.

I'm 37 years old and locked into poverty because my parents thought they knew better. I'm very angry about the whole situation. So now I get to work full time and maybe afford to take what would have been free courses when I was a teenager. This whole situation could have been avoided if I had just been allowed to go to school.

Mom, Dad, I say this from an earnest heart: get fucked.
