Honestly, your family will come around if you join. They won't disown you or stop talking to you altogether (unless they're truly disfunctional, but given your attachment to them, and the weight you put in their opinions and support, i'm guessing they're very normal), so just take the plunge. They'll protest, argue with you, try to change your mind, but if it's something you TRULY want to do, you'll never get rid of that feeling and if you don't do it, you'll be haunted by "what if" dreams forever.
I knew a few guys whose families were the same way. While the parents always wished their kids had NOT joined, they were always giving their support in the form of letters, care packages, etc.
