Deerock,
I'm also female with a male T who is the same age as my father would be. I never got angry with my father but should have, instead, I feel sorry for him and his life. I feel anger towards my mother but have had problems most of my life even feeling angry with people in general. Thats not good or healthy. Anger must be experienced and felt, not blocked or twisted to feeling sympathy for someone who has abused you, thinking they were in so much pain they were suffering so much and couldn't help it.
So this is good-funny you said that because I feel like the deficient one not having anger towards my father, towards T. My T even said that I should be angry, but I don't yet. but I also may have not been in therapy as long as you.Also my T doesn't sound as analytical as yours and like Ligonberry's T-we laugh and joke. I don't think I could handle a purely psychoanalytical T right now, mine is more eclectic.
I think not feeling anger is a defense, not sure, but I think it will eentually happen and I hope it does.
