You are on the right path and doing it the right way. The right way is however it works for you. There are 119,426 ways to become a professional pilot. When I started there were 119,425.

As for support, this seems to be a good place to start. Join AOPA or a local flying club. Hang out with aviation people and you will get all the support you can imagine. I have never met a group of people so willing to help with the process, decision making, etc.

Your family and friends may never understand what you are doing. I guess I am lucky. After initial skepticism, most everyone in my inner circle of friends have come around. My family is actually excited for me. The tide should turn. And truth be told, while it would be nice, does it matter what they think?

I am from Cincinnati, graduated from Ohio U, live in DC now. Sorry about the “chick car” comment. Sometimes my sense of humor does not transfer to the written word as well as I would like.
