When The People You Love Don’t Support Your Dreams

I know it can be a little disconcerting when the person that you care about the most or the people that you love don’t seem to be invested in your professional career.

They don’t seem to care about the work that you’ve been so passionate about your entire life.

We have our own passions, and our partners and the people that we care about have other passions.

It can feel very lonely and even debilitating.

You can feel unsupported.

This can lead to isolation at home.

You feel like you’re in it by yourself and start to think, “Why do I even need to have them in my life if they don’t care about what I do?”

You’re trying to build a future for them.

You want them interested and invested, but they can’t see the forest before the trees.

This can make you resentful and break up your family in ways that you never thought it could.

How do you address this situation?
