Hello, I am in RCIA and my first confession is coming up,my question is
Is holding anger towards my parents count as one to confess? This anger I have I have felt since I was young, anger at my mother trying to force me to marry an abusive boyfriend when I was 15, anger for all the mental and physical abuse that to this day I must admit I still hold.
And anger towards my older brother who abused me as a very young child?
 
Let go of grudges, they are poison to the soul. You need not be a dupe, but forgive others the way you would wish to be forgiven for the wrongs you have done.
 
Might I recommend you read Matthew 5:22-24? You will find your answer there.
 
OP, you can speak to the priest in confession. Confess your anger as well as your reasons, and let it go.

You should really look into some counseling for what has happened in your past. I think it really would benefit you.

May God bless you and bring you peace in your first confession.
 
Yes. Confess it all. The not so good, the bad and the just plain ugly. You desire a pure soul, correct? Well it is not clean until it’s clean. Put it all out there, as Father has heard it all many times before. Nothing will shock him, and he can absolve you (a tremendous grace) then give you spiritual direction which can greatly assist you in your battle against sin.

You know that you have made a good confession when you do not feel your feet touching the floor as you leave.
