Hello,
I was several time in the same situation than yours.
I even stopped my distance learning during one year,
too much stress added by a complex family life and
a stressfull job.
But after a 6 month period of employement and thousand
questions latter I decided to restart my training.
(I realised it really want to be a pilot)
But to cope with the cost of an expensive training, I
needed a well paid job and I was in the same stress
than before my fisrt crash but with my convictions.
Now I still have 5 certificates to pass in December and
when I need to cope with difficulties I spend some time
in the Orly Paris airport to see planes, pilots from around
the world and then I feel better.
Good luck my friend and
"don't give up because you have friends".
