Why am I not enough?

“I am your daughter and you hurt me. Even if you never hit me, just making me stand, bent over your knee, would have been too much. Even if i didn’t have any evidence, I am LIVING proof that your method didn’t work. So why don’t you just stop? Why is my word, my pain, my HEART, still not enough for you?”
In the comments at the link above, Dawn mentioned a Dr. Phil show in which he said to daughters of an abusive mother,
“‘Your mother isn’t capable of seeing anything but her self. She is incapable of giving you what you need.’ He was very gentle with the mother and very supportive toward the women, acknowledging their grievance as valid… My mother will not acknowledge her behaviors that keep us broken and separated. Seeing that show helped me to understand, and let my mom go.”
