For reference one is male & his 30s with a young family and one is an adult female but her children are grown so something for the family is not as relevant. Ideas??

Does anyone relate to this?? I am a pretty successful person. I work in consulting and have done pretty well. Unfortunately, I have immigrant parents and they don’t understand the career field that I am in. To them I am pretty much a failure and wasting my time. The judgement/ things they say are really getting to me. It’s gotten worse since I’ve decided to leave Big 4 audit for consulting . Not sure if this is the right bowl for this..please direct me if not.
