You will be successful no matter what if you contine to educate yourself anyway you can. Think with an open mind and learn to tollerate other people and their beliefs. And treat yourself with respect, dont let what other's say or do, stand in your way.
I think you can find a positive male and/or female role model, like a succesful aunt, teacher, neighborhood friend's parent and learn from them...seek out positive people and it will rub off on you. Learn from pepole who have the things you want. Are they go getters? Do they do what they say they are going to do?
By successful, I dont only mean with money, cars and all that, I mean, people who respect themselves and their family-eventually, good things will happen.

They are just as good. Don't use divorce as an excuse for not having personal success.
I am a single Mom (ok, he will be 21 soon, but he was 7 when I became a single Mom). My son never got arrested, never got in trouble. He was always well mannered and well liked. He did awful in school, but that was because of a bad school system and learning disabilities.
He is doing much better then many of his friends who came from 2 parent households.
He is in the Navy, on his own, paying his own bills, taking college courses.
He will get out in 3 years and have the GI Bill and he will be ready to go on to college.
Don't blame a divorce, you have control of your life.
BTW: I enlisted when I was 19, I was in a family with 2 parents, one an abusive alcoholic. I am doing fine. But I think I would have been better off if my parent's had divorced.

With or without family support, you will have whatever degree of success that you are willing to work for. If you decide you are a winner and shoot for the stars it's your success. If you decide to be a waste and failure it's your choice.

The only person who can stand in your way is YOU.
Get out there and kick some butt!
You can do it!
