This is wonderful that you were able to do this! hooray!
You aren't a total brat, you are a good person who was hurting badly. This might be something that opens up a lot of gentle discussion. You just went though are really hard time and there is a lot to talk about. Not judgements or blame or shame, but the experience and how it started, what happened during it, and how it calmed down. This is great therapy stuff And these can be very good therapy experiences that end up making us feel more connected and accepted.
