Well as long as they're not a white man, the only 2 privileges that I was afforded on the way up, then they're welcome to try absolutely any punishment they see fit. They're surely welcome to hate me. It is their right.
Therapy isn't so much telling you that your feelings are wrong. Feelings arise from many factors that are beyond your immediate control.
Therapy helps provide better context for, introspection into, and understanding of those feelings, and more importantly, alternative ways of responding to, expressing and acting upon them.
At the very least, expressing them less aggressively while still getting across your point.
Not trying to invalidate your feelings, but stewing in resentment is like drinking poison daily. Therapy can help you acquire the psychological tools and habits needed to help you and those around you live happier lives
Just like you're assuming the OPs feelings are wrong. They are not.
