Quit my career as a doctor. Terrible environment at home

I belong to a middle class family. This is the second attempt at a start up, with the previous one being a Telemedicine Platform which I started in my final years of med school. Everything seemed fine until medical insurance companies seemed to block the path of investment as in the country of Georgia they run the healthcare industry through a lobbyist monopoly . Now after graduation and wasting a semester and another year due to chronic injuries like herniated discs , chronic neuralgia and torn rotator cuff, extreme pain in my lower back, I don’t feel I have anything else to lose. My parents now have stopped supporting me financially which I don’t blame them for as I have wasted a lot of their money wasting an entire semester due to injuries and money to develop my first app, all so they could see me become a doctor, although I haven’t quit medicine and can pursue it anytime. But my parents are pushing 60 with health problems and have sacrificed so much for me and reason why despite it bothering me I can never deem myself in a negative environment when I haven’t earned a penny for them yet. As of now I’m just a visionary willing to starve and try my best to gain the knowledge to make my new start up run. Family hates me for it, they all want me to sacrifice my health till I can’t feel my legs due to my discs compressing my nerves but I have no other choice. It’s do or die. Anything to get out of the rat race. And if God wills it will happen. I just hope to get a mentor who can guide me as I fully believe the field of my start-up has immense potential in changing the picture in the Indian Market. I’m willing to take the risks and make the sacrifices, as of now I just am looking for a Co-Founder with the same spirit as me to develop a Unicorn in the Healthcare Industry.
