I had a similar experience. It's a strange and surreal form of gaslighting when family members make you angry and then subsequently make you to feel ashamed for becoming angry.

Anger, just like any other human emotion is neither good nor bad. Prescribing a human emotion as good and another human emotion as bad takes a certain degree of self righteousness. After some growing up, I've since learned to try and let my emotions guide me rather than run away from them and that's made all of the difference.
