Not making what you like should have a negative effect on your self esteem and therefore on your family.
There is no simple answer.
I personally began to choose work and I wasn't so happy with it. Then I choose my family and I feel better. But you have to consider I had the chance my corporate job didn't pressure me too much.
Furthermore my wife work at Hospital in a field where, last month, she saw four children die. It is something that make you think about priorities. And clearly, now family is my first priority. But I also don't forget my feeling have direct consequences on the happiness of my family.
