You don't think that by understanding whether or not a certain parental action was immensely wrong or a good idea, it'll help me decide whether or not to do that action?

Finding out that I was actually done wrong helps me get over the anger. Because otherwise, I'm just pissed off for no reason, to which people respond discouragingly. But then I get angry trying to justify myself, because I can't help how I feel. But if I know I was right, then maybe I can begin to get over it.

If it turns out it was a simple misunderstanding on my part, then I can realize I was wrong, and then I can get over it.

But I can't get over it without understanding. That's now how people work. At least, I don't think so.
