Should I graduate from a program I don’t feel I’ve worked hard enough to earn?

A masters degree is quite the achievement. It's not like winning the lottery. And so, it is not likely that your professors just let you slide. They understand that there are circumstances in life which can slow down our success in school. Professors aren't like high school teachers, who are obligated to have a certain percentage of their students pass. Also, the idea of what is "earned" is different for every person. Your professors noticed that you kept trying despite other issues. That is a difficult thing to do in your situation. So don't be so hard on yourself. A better question you could ask yourself is: do you feel that you have learned enough from your schooling to be successful in your next step - your career? A degree is pointless if you didn't learn enough of what you needed to know. Despite whether you "earned" it or not, do you feel confident with the amount of knowledge you've learned?

accept it please

Thank you Fine In The Fire. I do not feel I am adequately competent in my area of study to fulfill basic career expectations. I went through many job interviews, and my weakness was always in my inability to either convey or properly explain basic concepts within my subject area. It's not a problem with the school - I snuck through without learning the valuable teachings they offered us. I didn't do enough with what they taught us. It is just a piece of paper at the end of the day - but it matters for something. It disqualifies very capable people from jobs simply because they don't have that. It's for this reason and others (the role of properly representing a capable Masters student at my university, the belief I can do better, the limitation of not being able to reattempt a masters in the same field if I accept the degree, failing out vs. refusing the degree, living with something that is not something I'm proud to have) that I think this is the right decision for me.

I don't suppose you would consider, if it is even possible, going back and learning the information you missed, as opposed to starting over completely? It seems a shame to have completed the portion of work which you did consider earned, for nothing. Just a thought. You seem headstrong in your choice to refuse the degree. In the end, the choice is yours. You know your circumstances better than anyone else. I admire the honesty you have with yourself. Most people would jump on the easy short-cut option. But you have weighed out your options and your feelings, and from what you've stated, I agree now that refusing the degree is probably best option. And I wish you a happy, successful future.

I'm sorry but that just sounds messed up to me? The degree is nowhere near as important as what you do with it. Put that thing in a frame and be proud of it. Then use to make life better for yourself.
