It's all in your head. You can do something about your situation if you try without giving up. People today are so quick to give up because they can rely on programs to take care of them. Nothing wrong with the programs if you truly need help. The problem is when you are on programs when you can do things different to better yourself. I am married, four kids, bought a two story house two weeks ago and I don't have a college degree. I started at the bottom at my job and now I am a manager. If I can put a lot of effort and proved to my employer that my job is important to me, then everyone has a fair shot.
