Regarding the recommendation to "Just quit." You should. But not the side projects, quit your day job. Put a deadline on it, for your family's sake, if you don't have sustainable income from your new business after the deadline, go back to a day job and put the side-projects on hold. You shouldn't have a problem finding another day job if you're good (and if you're not good, get good first, then quit).
You'll need savings and a supportive family to do this.
Talk with them. Explain the situation. Write a journal so you can show how you feel over time. Your family will support you, but first you'll have to make a good case. It's a risk, quitting, but if you have some savings and a supportive family, you can do it.
It'll also force you to build a business, not a hobby.
