Your daughter is 100%+ correct. I think therapy is so into making a person feel good about themselves in spite of the harm they do to others because of their mental illness that it makes the concept of accountability fly out the window.
I know I hurt my daughter during my years of depression & fighting with her dad. When I was healing, one of our first conversations was me apologizing for the hurt I caused her without blaming her dad....something she sorted through on her own as we talked about things over the years. Doubt her dad ever recognized his part in it even after talking to him after 11 years away because his only thing was how he felt divorce made him look like a failure....all about "me, me, me"
