Never understood people's need for acceptance from their parents. Them liking you has no more meaning than anyone else. So unless literally everyone hates you, I'd say you're doing just fine.
Wanting acceptance and approval is an extremely natural thing for a human. People seek this especially from the people that they care about, whether that is family, friends, a crush or even just people in your local community.
We could argue the semantics of your statement and debate whether acceptance from a parent is a need or a want, but I think it's besides the point and not useful to the question OP is asking.
Honestly, I'm very surprised that this isn't obvious to you.
