Hello MicheleObama,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities and asking for help with your Apple ID. You can try the steps in this help article to help you with the security questions: If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions


Because you no longer use that email address that is attached to the Apple ID, you can add a rescue email address. This article talks about this: About your Apple ID email addresses


One more article may help you with the verification email: If you didn't receive your verification or reset email


If you are still unable to correct the issue, you will need to contact AppleCare for assistance with this: Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security


Thanks and have a wonderful day.
