I think a lot of us struggle with this one. I know I have. Parents are human beings with flaws just like any of us. You feel guilty as if you are placing blame on them for some of your difficulties. But I don't think it's about assessing blame. It's about coming to accept and acknowledge what transpired in your past so that you may understand the whys of how it has affected you in the present. Expressing anger toward your parents does not dishonor them and isn't un-Christian from my point of view. I think what it does is honor you and that is certainly something your parents would want, one would think. You would be honoring and being true to yourself about your feelings and emotions. Of course you love your parents. Loving people also means accepting and allowing them their imperfections. We can love and be angry too for what was lost to us. A child being honest with themselves and acknowledging their pain on the road to healing is something one would hope every parent would want for their children. No one's parents are perfect and that is okay. It's okay to be angry.
