To me a big chunk of that means: achieve personal happiness.
No, their responsibility is to teach you, prepare you, to survive. If they do that, you owe them, they don't owe you.
You're happiness is your responsibility. Any concern they have with your happiness is out of love, not responsibility, and that's a two way street. If you make them unhappy why in hell should they care if you're happy.
