Actually, I think this is also true. I am who I am because I was the only one who shaped me, and the concept of letting God shape me is alien.
The following video may be helpful for someone who has difficulty seeing God in their life.

I don't really struggle with anger and unforgiveness towards my parents I came to terms with the neglect along time ago. Now its just the passing sadness that sometimes sidelines me, and watching this video, well made me very sad. Most of the time I forget I have parents, not out of spite, but just because where there is supposed to be a relationship there is a blank. My father is deceased, my mother is old and ill. I am dutiful and loving, its just that the connection is missing. I could spend my whole life reaching out and its just not in her nature to care.

SomeFineDay> I have a question: Do you have problems with this in other areas of your life? For example, with supervisors at work, authority figures, etc.
Also, is there anyone you look up to as a parent figure?
No, I actually don't have any trouble with authority figures. When I have authority over people I try to be kind and empathetic, and when there is someone over me, I don't have trouble following orders. As chance would have it I actually have quite of bit of authoritative power, so I don't have anyone over me (I'm the boss!) but when I did, no troubles there.
No, no parent figures, from the time I could think I had to fix all my own problems and choose all my directions. No adult ever gave me guidance. There was no extended family or teachers in my life. Luckily, I had a good dose of common sense, and was smart enough to do ok.
