There's no need to be ashamed because you are doing the right thing for your and your education.

I came in to post something very much like this. I'm almost done with my undergrad studies, and I had to withdraw from an online Spanish class - (nightmare), and while it hurts to see it on my transcript - I often wonder if I would have finished that particular semester AT ALL if I hadn't dropped that class. Sometimes you just need to step back and get a fresh start. Ultimately, it will end up being something you can overcome, and your family will always love you - don't interpret any disappointment they display as anything but what it is at face value.
Good luck. Maybe finding some online support groups for the subject or some other way to get in front of it when you pick it back up could help. If you have to drop anything - sooner is always better than later. A lone W won't look too bad, just get out while you can, what you don't want is an F on your transcript.
