Everyone must separate from their parents, but they still do not have the life-experience that the parents are expert in, so there is plenty left to learn. It's important to reflect on what you see to be your parent's failures in life, as you plan your own, but you will often discover as the years pass that you are much less of a "person" than they are, because you can't judge anything they do until you are THEIR age LIVING THROUGH their experiences.
Also, it's very important to know their problems with life, because it prepares you for the problems you might have.
Life is a constant struggle.

Your education and success are a testament to your parents as well as yourself. Despite what you may think, this does not make you any better than they are. Your success should not be a reason to separate from your parents because when your were growing up, they provided for you. You need to walk a mile in their shoe before you can judge them as you have. You might not know the extent to which they sacrificed for you. I currently have a higher education than my parents, but I see that as a reason to become closer to them because my education enlightened me to the fact that they are as much a success as I am. Imagine your kids in the future doing the same thing to you. How would that make you feel?
