Being "non-educated" doesn't necessarily make a person a bad mother.

My mother had a horrible childhood and never did more than 3 months of school a year, as her own mother kept popping out children and then forcing her oldest daughter (that being my mum) to take care of them rather than doing it herself.

My mum was a really good mum. A bit weird, but everyone is weird at some point. The fact she was uneducated simply meant she couldn't help with me with my homework, but even my dad who WAS educated wouldn't help me with my homework coz it was all way over his head.

At the moment too, courtesy of Centerlink being a bunch of prats, I can only afford to do my course part time, two subjects at the most. Which means EIGHT YEARS if I am forced to continue doing it the way I have to now... and then another three years extra study tacked on to actually be able to practice counselling, or psychology...

It's a long time to study.

On Monday I'm going for my pelvic ultrasound the doctor sent me on, and then on 31st January I get to find out what the results are, blood work and all that jazz. Thats the soonest time I can get in to see my lady doctor, she's only in town on Thursdays. But on the 31st, I can let everyone know all the results and stuffs.
