I had no idea!! I can't even begin to fathom how all that felt...how traumatic! All things considered, it seems your life has turned out pretty great. And who cares where you work?!!? It certainly doesn't make you a lesser person just cause you make less money. My mom didn't go to college either, started as a secretary at a company and worked her way up to management and has mega respect where she is now.

We grew up a little poor too (to this day I cannot eat Potato buds), my dad worked for GM and kept getting laid off, my mom had mediocre jobs at stores and stuff....but we were so happy! I had a great childhood.
Sometimes I think that's why my mom and dad really pushed us to go to college and be successful. I'm sure for them, my "Fun" childhood, was stressful because of money and they just don't want us to go through the same.
Anyway, degrees aren't everything. If you're doing something you can feel positive about, and overall---have a life that makes you happy, then really that's all that matters!
BTW: I thought of you yesterday, I met up with friends I've known since highschool and college, who I've recently been keeping in better touch with, and found out she's been trying to get pregnant for a year and a half. She's right now on Clomid (sp?). She's not totally desperate feeling yet, but if this doesn't work she's going to see a fertility specialist.
