Dream of Going to College

I am the parent of a high school senior who dreams of going to college. I was a single parent of 2 and struggled for many years. I married a few years ago and we became a 2 paycheck family. Several years ago a illness struck me and I am unable to work. My husband never adopted my child and their is a bit of a riff everytime we need money for school. I realize now that if I had not married I could of gotten help financially for my child to go to college. Now its based on his income. Which keeps me from getting help. I feel so much guilt over this.

I don't want my child to have the kind of life that I had. I want more for my child which I know most of you want better for yours.

I was never given the oppertunity to persue a higher education.
My child has always given 100% to their studies.
Ranked 5th in their senior class, scored high on SAT, community leader, athlete, mentor to the young, protector of the elderly.

But let down by their mom not being able to provide the college education they so richly deserve and has worked so hard to acheive.
