There's also the fact that Shen committed the genocide on the ponies way before he was banished by his parents. What should also be noted is that he genuinely thought his parents would be proud of him for seemingly defeating all of his enemies, amd that he might've been seen as a hero by them. Again, it's made quite clear that Shen was still hurt by his parents' betrayal, never mind the fact that he tried to constantly state that they didn't love him.
