<p>That is a HUGE difference. The OP has lived in a family with a very high family income all their life. That is very VERY different than having NO contact with someone until you are 11 or 12, and never having had that person as a custodial parent. </p>
<p>Good luck to the OP…anything is worth trying, but have lots of other options, just in case.</p>
