What to do when you are feeling down, having doubts, and unsupported?

Lately, I feel a little down given that I lack support from family on my journey for online business with niche related website I built with Wealthy Affiliate. That especially with my husband. But I can understand why they would feel that way. As a new member of WA since January, I have not had results from daily work on my website. I know it would take 5-6 months to show some results, but it's getting difficult to feel abit more motivated when you're own love one believe that the business is not going to work. The only reason I'm trying this online business is so that I can work from home while building out new family. But since I have failed or gaveup on so many business gigs in the past (teaching lessons, etsy and ebay business, making drop shipping online business, stock marketing) I can understand why my family thinks that my online business with the help of WA won't work.
I'm not giving up. At least not for a year. I want to see what results I can get after 6 months of working every day on my website. I want to show my family that this time it will work because I'm loving the work I'm doing with it so far. It's really fun to blog about the things I'm very interested in. I probably would have more success if promoting WA, but I don't have interest in doing that (or at least not for now I'm not). However, I still have doubts. What if my website isn't good enough? Maybe I'm not doing things right. Plus I haven't heard anyone's success story of a niche related website they have built. Most of the success I heard are from people who are promoting WA. I need to read real success stories of people who built a website revolving their niche of interest.
I won't give up. But it's just so hard to stay motivated without the people closest to me giving me support.
What's your story? Are you guys went through the same issue? If you have a success story with website(s) relating to a niche not promoting WA, share it! We all need to read a good story of success to stay motivated.
