Guilt of staying away from home with a remote job

I started working in an early stage startup this year in jan, moved out to bangalore(which I wanted to, since my 3rd year) for it. Now, i had to find a new role recently because things didn't work out, I was so scared that I might have to go back home if I didn't get a new job in time. I did get a new role which is remote and started this month. But even though I always wanted to move away from all the chaos of my dysfunctional household (while still supporting them in all the ways i could) and make a life for me, I now feel if I am betraying them by living here, some of my friends also are doing wfh and that's also nudging me towards this thought. This is the first year of my full-time employment and I'm in a dilemma of what's important career-wise and responsibility-wise.
