my immature parents

Hei guys!

Do you have any suggestions on how I should handle this situation?

My parents are narcissists and immature. They act like spoiled kids.

I think they only had a child because of social pressure: "everyone NeeDs To Be a PaREnt". Nothing more. They neglected me (you can barely imagine the level of abuse and neglect I had to endure). God bless the TV, keeping them busy all day long.

All their lives, they have made the worst possible decisions and have ALWAYS received help from their parents (my grandparents). Meanwhile, they provided no help to me.

Only I know the struggle of working 6-8hs daily from 19y old to pay for my studies. Ultimately, I graduated from a top EU university with stellar grades and plenty of years of experience. So good for me.

Now comes the problem: I almost (still in the interview phase, confident I will make it) received an offer from MBB (McKinsey, BCG, Bain) for a consultant position in NYC (I am from Europe). Instead, for my family to be happy for me, from an impoverished background with little to no help, I got into one of the biggest consulting firms; they entered RAGE mode because "I leave them behind" (imagine the audacity).

I won't stop my ascending or my dreams to make them happy since they gave 0 fucks about my happiness. I had to live in a micro-room during my studies (no money for rent) and had to support all of my ex-psycho bosses and ultra-psycho professors to make it.

I told them the opportunity is nowhere else, but they still insisted that I do better in Europe on a "40-50.000 euro salary because they will help me". :-) Also, they are ULTRA-childish and somehow dumb: they have big problems understanding abstract concepts, life choices, planning everything, etc.
