I understand that caring for a disabled parent is a lot of responsibility, and likely affected your performance. My question is this: what are the circumstances that have now changed that will make it more likely that you will receive As and Bs in college, rather than Ds and Fs? I cannot really help you succeed. Your success depends on you--and on making choices that reflect your circumstances. Your possibilities are still huge; but it makes no sense to throw good money (and time) after bad. Your need to create the environment for yourself that will allow you to focus your energies on your studies in a way that you have been unable to so in the past. Hope this helps. Good luck!
