Welcome to the forums. This is a really neat place.
About your situation with the parents...well, it is my feeling that you need to separate from them. You know, you can still love them from afar...But it is YOU that need to stop needing their approval. You cannot change the way they are, but you certainly can change how to interact with them. How nice to have such a great job as yours! I would be very proud of myself!
And by the way, congratulations about the wedding!
