1st start with giving thanks for what you have. I don't know you but from your posting, I can assume that you and your kids are healthy and you have parents that love you. I'm sure that if you take a minute you'll find many many things you can be thankful for. Your situation is not as dire as you think. There's much room to move forward. Being a psychiatrist at this time might be too ambitious but if you try you can study for a career that can be a stepping stone towards that. I don't know what it might be but speak to a career counselor to help you define it and take the time to make sure it's what you want and you can get a job once you are done studying it. It can be relatively quick, in terms of needed study, and it needs to be in demand. Once you decide what you want, aim towards it. In terms of money, schools are open to help with financial aid. Don't be afraid of debt related to school, if it helps you get a career. Also, you need to stay away from for-profit schools. They want your money but don't care if you learn. In terms of time, night school is your best bet. Ask your parents to help with the kids while you study and go to school. Talk to them and ask them to be part of your goals. Don't try to rush, it's best to get it done rather than to rush and get overwhelmed and quit. Once you have a job that pays the bills then you can go back and work towards the larger goal. It's very important that you make a plan that looks at the next 5 years and the next 10 years. Make a plan towards the goals and review it regularly. Your stretch goal is to become a psychiatrist. Keep this in mind, people overestimate what they can do in the short term but underestimate what they can do in the long term. So don't rush so much that you get overwhelmed and quit. But make sure you work towards the future you want. Lastly, make sure you don't get pregnant again. At least not until you achieve your goals. Having another kid will not help the situation. Don't wait for someday, start now. Good luck.
