"I just didn't expect this kind of thing from you"
I got that a lot as a kid
"I know that you're better than this."
"not only am i mad, i'm also disappointed."
You think that's hurtful, wait until someone is, sorely disappointed in you.
"I am just deeply disappointed in you" is what I got one time as a kid
What about, "I'm so mad at you for being this disappointing" ?
Anger is caused by transgression. Disappointment by failure. While in the former case you can rationalize being a rebel, the latter care only makes you a loser.
