It is good that you have it. I think when there's some common understanding about what you do, it's easier.
My second oldest brother, the one that's the attorney, I think he gets what I do more than the other two, and definitely more than my parents or grandma. I think it's hard for my parents too because there's no, like... outward signs of success? If that makes sense? Like my brother the doctor got his medical degree, my brother the lawyer wins in court, my brother the nonprofit guy can show the work he's done in the community. Mine's more secretive, it's hard to show my parents I'm doing well too.
