> It is true, I may well be homeless if it isn't for them. It sounds like you may not be truly financially independent from your family? If they're giving you resources like money, food or shelter then you need to double down on convincing them this is the right path, because they're not totally in the wrong of asking demands in such a case. Is there no way for you to do some kind of consulting work while doing this? If you can find a client that's not picky about when you work exactly it should gel well with your sporadic schedule. Assuming your family is still giving you resources your second goal should be to become independent enough so you can make your own decisions and not be tethered to their opinions as much.
