Answer

Fulfilled might refer to a long term success. You could say you feel fulfilled by seeing your children succeed. It's rare to say you're satisfied by your children's success. Satisfaction can also have a slightly negative connotation, as in the case of a meal that was satisfactory (i.e. It only met your base expectations).
