What you're describing sounds like the usual progress of therapy. You might need a phase of being quite angry and blaming toward your family. You don't necessarily confront them with your feelings, but you can allow the feelings to happen in therapy without adding guilt on top of the hurt and anger. It's not a small task to get over the effects of your family-- in fact it can be a lifetime task. Congratulations for starting to see the patterns. Keep up the good work.
