I loved Pegasus's post, as well. I'd add that for me--and maybe for others--it's terrifying to feel that level of rage, because it's so big and strong it feels like it'll rip you apart. Maybe that's why we resort to other avenues.
This whole situation reminds me of why many of us are in therapy in the first place. Feelings of sadness, abandonment, rage for our parents--yet those parents are unavailable, or unable to hear and process feelings with us. So that's why we go into therapy--it's so ironic that for you, the whole cycle just repeated itself. She's who you're angry at, but she's unfit to give you peace.
Rambling, but I think my point is that the only way to truly work through it is with someone else.
