I'm having abandonment issues and any discussion of therapeutic restraint or unreality just makes me feel worse.
About your anger... I was full of resentment that at my advanced age I was still dealing with the aftermath of my adoptive family`s incompetence. But I realized that wasn`t working for me anymore. So I let it go and started parenting myself. A former T gave me this analogy: If you store acid in a container so that you can throw it at your enemy, the container will likely be harmed before you get your chance at revenge... The best revenge is to live well! Show those that did you harm, that you turned out just fine despite them!
