DingDucky, go get out there and prove the bastard wrong!!!
Or at the very least, know that you gave it your very best shot and left no stone unturned in your attempts to be a pilot.
A mate of mine, ex-army, learned to fly many years ago, told me about some World War 2 air ace who had problems learning to fly. Apparently he totalled at least one aircraft, the engineers dreaded him, and people thought he'd never make it. He did and ended up better than almost anyone else. People learn at different rates and in different ways, and everybody - including flying instructors - can sometimes be wrong.
