You are definitely not a horrible person. I sometimes feel resentment towards my own biological children because they require so much attention and I can't do things I want to do. It's definitely about depression in my case. And it doesn't help that we live in a world where men tend to expect women to have an innate capacity for childcare, and thus they expect us to take more responsiblity than is really fair.
I think it would be wise to bring it up with your therapist as soon as possible. I would bet my house that your therapist has heard this kind of thing before and won't think badly of you.
