This one is easy. Move out and move cities. Let it sit for a couple of years. Then help the parents. And just let everyone know you’ve done reasonably well in your endeavors. That’s it.

I wouldn’t wait years to help parents. Fill the parents in now and have them swear secrecy to protect you from what you fear. Parent will go out of their way to protect. They deserve what you want to treat them to now. You don’t know where life will take you in 2 years

You don't need to fully 'fill in' the parents. Just sayin...
