I know exactly where you're coming from. My family didn't understand or like what I did for a long time. For them, I've wasted my time on what wasn't really "work", because I didn't get a salary. I'm from Germany, you're expected to have a job here. Being an Entrepreneur seems wrong. Luckily, my wife was very supportive. But there are also limits. Let's say that everyone around me had to suffer to some degree so that I was able to pull this off.
