It's pretty fortunate if you can do what you love and become so successful at it that it covers "me" AND "us", but when that's not the reality of the situation, most responsible adults may (and in my opinion, should) forsake any unrealistic dream for the sake of their family.
I think, often times, that's just the choice many people make out of necessity, and is completely natural and not something that shouldn't be looked down on.

I understand that but it just seems horrible and I understand when people end up committing suicide because of it.
it's horrible to throw away your dreams because reality slaps you in the face.
