“I feel like I don't belong in my family now that I earn more”

What could be going on

Breakaway guilt: Fits if doing better feels like leaving them behind, and you play down your success at home.

Cultural mismatch: Could be two class worlds with different rules. Check whether you feel out of place at work too.

Relative income: Check whether the gap itself has changed how they see you and how you see yourself.

Envy: Fits if digs about your money come from them wanting what you have.

Financial enabling: Check whether you've started paying for things to ease the gap, and whether it eases anything.

Social identity: Could be a shift in which group feels like yours. Check which side you defend in an argument.
