I'm also very sorry to hear about your DH, but he's lucky to have such an amazing person by his side.
Don't ever feel bad about your past academic "failures" because you can learn more from this than people who have had an easier life. Also, don't think that you can't do math or chemistry. I remember being told as a little girl that boys were good at math/science and I believed it! However, I learned with ALEKS and Khan Academy that I am actually good at math! I never got past geometry in high school, yet have managed to do all of the work needed to get through multiple finance courses at the undergrad and graduate level.
Just stick to it and you'll make it. The hardest part of college as an adult is just being disciplined enough to carve out study time daily and sticking to a testing or class schedule. I have no doubt that you can do it if you put your mind to it!!
