My mom does the same thing. I can't get her to admit to anything. There was one time after my dad passed away, I was 16 I think, that she punched me in the face. For no reason or if there was one, I didn't understand it. When I was about 24 she was bragging to me about how she hit one of my brothers in the face. I said, "why would you be proud of that. That is the same thing you did to me." She actually said "but he deserved it". So she was all but admitting that I didn't deserve it. That was the closest I am sure I will ever come to her admitting she ever did anything wrong.
