I am really fucken angry right now. I live with my parents and are married but my husband is in the military and is away. I own a business doing art and its really doing well I make 400-600 weekly with only working around 15 hours. My parents are always undermining it saying it I should focus on something else. My husband does not think of it too highly either he sees it as a nuisance. I am really proud of my work but my family is always constantly shitting on it. While I am working on commissions my parents will tell me to do different tasks to help them, I have set out times when I am available but they are constantly saying that my work can wait until later.
I am getting tired of how self absorb my parents are husband are it feels like they are constantly creating conflict for me to get a kick out of it. I am always doing what they want but my own needs are never met so I started this business in order to be able to become more independent and it seems like they are all pissing on me even more now.
I am just extremely frustrated.

When you say art do you mean painting?
Also is what youre doing scalable? Meaning can you mass produce what youre doing?

Yeah Im making custom paintings of people pets I am making good money doing it and on the side I sell prints too. I do not have the health to work a normal job so I thought this be best because I can work when my health is good but my parents and husband keep eating up my time that I need to work. They all want me doing things for them constantly and never want to help me in return.

If you're married why do your parents have any say in what's going on?

I live with them while my husband is away. I do not have the health to be by myself sadly.

Then git gud at whatever you do, save every penny, then move in with your husband. Talk with him about it and explain the money you're making and could potentially make going forward. Have you considered starting a business leveraging other artists? Etc

I cant live with my husband he away in the military. He is part of the problem as well. The best I can explain it is my parents and husband did not expect much from me for what I do out of life because of my health issues and now that I am doing something they are trying to belittle me. When it comes to the point where I have no time I may consider leveraging other artists but right now I have the time the problem is the people in my life are being toxic.

If your husband is an ass the leave him. I'd kill to have a qt introverted artist girlfriend.
There a several billion humans with penises on the planet. If this one isn't good to you, find one that is.

Do you have an instagram where I could see your work? I'm interested in a painting for my pets
But if you don't want to post here.
Could you post a similar artist you think I could ask for comission?
I'm sorry to hear about your health but have you tried talking seriously with them and your own husband? If this is what you like and you envision yourself growing then try to show it to them in a cold logical way and treat it as a bussiness
