I don't have a usb bootable disk
version of it I do have a usb drive so creating a bootable version won't
be a issue
but that would explain why I am having a hell of a time with the disk
utility app was unaware that they changed stuff
when I used mac OSX I was using mountain lion if memory serves
should I try to find a older version of OSX and make a bootable copy of
that to try to fix the problem?

the partition for recovery is not large, approx. 1 gig if that.
But the best way to see this is to have a USB bootable installer and start the
machine up on to that then view disk utility and you will see everything.
Note disk utility in high sierra sierra and elcapitan are not great for
voiceover usage.
Still workable if you take the time to learn it.

You are running High Sierra? If the drive is not an SSD then you are
probably using macOS extended. Mine is formatted to APFS so the partition tab
is different. So I am not sure what you should look for.

Off list. Since I have not had this problem, perchance you can go into the partition
tab and see if you can address this there. Just a guess that you somehow "lost"
125gigs in there.
