This seems to be a classic syndrome of anger/shame: a parent leads us into sin, we sin and feel shame, and feel anger at the parent for causing us to sin and anger at God for allowing us to sin. We judge the parent for the sin, judge ourselves, and feel trapped in guilt. This guilt seems so recalcitrant (unable to be removed) that we bury it somewhere deep inside and it becomes a monster which comes out of the cave to scare us everytime something reminds us of the original sin we committed to trap us in guilt. If anyone has any similar experiences please post a comment to let us know. We need to establish an understanding of how to get out of this trap.
