Since you haven't gotten any responses yet I will attempt to come up with one for you.

First of all, you can support him in what he's doing while you do your things. He also has to support YOU!

Do not listen to what he says that causes self doubt. If you want to take violin and go back to school then do it, and do it now. If he not supportive of your choices then of course you're not going to be able to hang in there and support him for the long run.

It really sounds to me like you just need go do your thing for awhile. Keep supporting him, but make it clear to him that you also have goals. If he can't appreciate that then perhaps it's not going to work.

Your situation is somewhat unique. If you would like someone to discuss it in more detail please feel free to PM me. I trust you will get several more responses to your thread from the good people on this board.
