Sorry this is late, just flew back into town.
I suggest going to ED.gov. In terms of looking for goverment grants or financial aid. Believe it or not there are alot of places you can look into.
Forget the parent thing as long as you want an education someone out there will be willing to help you.
I've included the frist part of the site for Ed.Gov.

ACADEMIC COMPETITIVENESS GRANT

An Academic Competitiveness Grant will provide up to $750 for the first year of undergraduate study and up to $1,300 for the second year of undergraduate study to full-time students who are U.S citizens, eligible for a Federal Pell Grant, and who had successfully completed a rigorous high school program, as determined by the state or local education agency and recognized by the Secretary of Education. Second year students must also have maintained a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0. The program will be available for the first time for the 2006-07 school year for first year students who graduated from high school after January 1, 2006 and for second year students who graduated from high school after January 1, 2005. The Academic Competitiveness Grant award is in addition to the student's Pell Grant award.
If you can answer YES to all of the following questions, you may potentially be eligible to receive an Academic Competitiveness Grant.

1. Are you a U.S. citizen?
2. Did you graduate from high school after January 1, 2005?
3. Are you eligible to receive a Pell Grant?
4. Will you be enrolled as a full-time first or second year student in a two-year or four-year degree program?

If this doesn't fly with you go to: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/index.htm

Good luck, babygirl
