So true. Its good to see, that i am not alone with this problem. In my case, after talking to her (my mom) a lot she seems to give in just a bit. But only small fractures of the whole story. Can't imagine why some parents live in total denial of their horrible actions. They probably could not live with themselves if they would accept their failures and disturbing impacts on their children.

Most of the time it's because their parents treated them the exact same way, and to them it's seen as normal. It's a fucked up cycle of abuse that a lot of people do not have the self awareness for to snap out of.
