You took a risk, and that deserves respect. Not humiliation. The family dynamic you describe, seems pretty toxic. I don’t think you owe them an explanation. Perhaps doing your own thing and spending less time with them, would go a long way.

Ex-KPMG here (3 years). I’d say the answer is “because they can”. After a while you understand that you were one of the cogs that kept the machine running. Might as well do your own thing with less stress and restrictions. And you know how the sausage gets made. All organisations are broken. There is no secret sauce. Big or small (business), you have to put in the work. Ex-Big4 folks have no illusions and they are willing to put in the work.
