I have similar issues regarding my parents, who to this day, despite knowing that I was practically the most unrebellious teen ever, despite knowing that I have a brain and know how to use it, persist in seeing my adult life as a rebellion against theirs. (Like you, I'd also say that I lived a fairly orthodox Mormon lifestyle up until about 20. Certainly I read the scriptures more than most of my fellow Mormon kids.)

But as an adult, I'm not rejecting or rebelling against my parents so much as saying, "No!" to the culture that as I see it, done them wrong. And refusing to let that same culture turn me into something I don't want to be.
