unfortunately only you can decide if you want to continue or not. whether or not you are up-to-it is only something you can decide...parents and friends will never be able to understand...only judge; and they judge using all the misconceptions the public has about pilots. That said i would definitely get some kind of educational back up. what would you do if you lost your medical or had an accident and couldn't fly again...you'd be screwed. plenty of pilots who go to the airlines have some skeletons in the closet...you wont be the first nor the last. Do what feels right in your gut but ALWAYS have a back up plan...just in case
