i can only speak for me...i too wanted my parents acknowledge all the abuse...but my father died to early on..so i was left with the evil mother from hell. i tried and tried to get her to admit to it.

as an adult i raged at her for all the damage she caused to me...but as a child i just wanted her to love me...and make it all right. and the adult hated the child. what a viscious cycle.

the child would pull the mother closer and get sucked in to the abuse all over again...and it was worse because as an adult i was her caregiver (talk about sucky role reversal).

i think its the rold of needy kids everywhere inside all of us to want the love of our parents no matter how god awful they are. as adults we know that...as kids we don't...its just difficult to balance it out.
No,dear, you're speaking for me, too.Thank you
