I'm sorry you feel so bad. Each individual person has their own timeline for this stuff. I think your therapist may be trying to get you to think about what you need, not telling you to get over it. There are definately different styles of therapy and so many people don't believe that going over the past is useful. I worry all the time that I'm taking to long to sort through all of this.
I know for me, I do want to try to understand why things happened the way they did. But I agree, if it sounds like he is excusing their behavior instead of trying to understand it, I would be hurt too. It is a process, I guess.
I wouldn't sit with this for a week. I'd call and ask to talk to him about how you feel.
