I think it's part of the process. Recall that progression of emotions after suffering a devastating loss:

Denial---Anger---Despondency---Acceptance

I think recovering from the LCM has a parallel trajectory. Only it's more like:

Confused Guilt---Angry Guilt---Freedom---Angry Freedom---Confident Freedom

I noticed as I began to see how the LCM had manipulated me that I went through various stages of anger and indignation. It was often expressed in my posts. As I go on I become less angry and more determined just to help people reach freedom themselves.
