What should I do?

If you can minimize distractions in your life
and increase your odds with tutors/find more effective study methods
then yes.
But I realize that might be hard to guarantee.
So that means you have to reflect REALLY hard and see if you can come up with a plan.
If you can't, then take a break.

If you failed 3/4 of it then you shouldn't even be thinking about going back, it's obviously not for you. Don't do social work either, find something you can actually make money with.

Take stock. Be honest.
Did you really fail because of all the family stuff, or did the family and gf stuff happen because you weren't functioning very well in general?
If specific outside problems caused the failures, try again. (Incidentally, universities are very familiar with that problem, and will happily overlook one bad semester if things pick up).
If, on the other hand, you probably wouldn't do much better if you tried again, it's time to consider a different path. (Even that is not necessarily "failure", just a belated discovery you were going in the wrong direction.)
