Hey there. My DH is also HG and dyslexic (and ADHD), and had a rough family life and an awful school experience. In fact, he could have written 90% of your post. Weird, huh? The difference, I guess, is that DH did end up with a "Dr." in front of his name. He went to college at 29 after dropping out of high school. He has had to struggle his whole life, but he's never given up. For him, being 2E is a gift. He wouldn't be the wonderful, creative, brilliant, driven man he is without having experienced challenges in his life.

Have you considered going back to school? Or changing careers to something you'd find more fulfilling? Perhaps starting a business? Or doing something creative on the side? It's never too late, you know. smile
