Re: advise please.
I would stick with it. If you spend this much time and energy and its important to you then it'll be more worth it when you finish it. There will always be people who discourage you, and hearing it from family is worse b/c you expect them to be some sort of support system and we all dread hearing the "I told you so". Anyone who is successful,has failed , before they got to where they are. Dont be so hard on yourself, you know alot more than you think you do.
