I agree with what others have said. It sounds very painful, but nevertheless a very important session. And if you’re not done railing, let him have it. He can take it.
Maybe your demands weren’t as irrational as you think. I think it makes perfect sense to feel that way. Of course you want him to have been there 30 years ago to rescue you and protect you. You needed to be protected, and your therapist - who would have known what to do - wasn't there; no wonder you're furious. And I don’t think you need to apologise for that.
It sounds to me as if you’re doing some very useful work there. It’s hard. But telling those feelings is really important. Good for you.
