Do you tell them - "Damn right, you were. You should feel guilty, you F%$#(*&% a$$hole)!" Or um what do you say? =)

believe me - in my dad's case, it was a one time incident
and in my mom's case, she only brings it up when she tries to figure out what happened to her perfect kids. then it's more like wanting us to feel sorry for her imperfections....i don't even know how to respond/what to say....

My mom just admitted it once, that she had been a bad parent, and asked me, and I said she had done the best she could (which was true, even if it still sucked). My dad never has admitted to me that he hit us, etc but he admitted it to one of my brothers. If your mother asks you about it again, and you don't want to discuss it with her, and don't depend on her for money, housing, etc I'd tell her the truth and say it makes you uncomfortable to have her talk about it with you-and suggest she find someone else or another way to deal with it...but if you are dependent on her, it's up to you how much you want to tell her about how you feel, you have to make sure you feel safe, and that it doesn't make the situation worse for you. If you can find someone to talk with about this, an adult you trust, I'd do that, since your parent is treating you like a peer, which is not a role you sound comfortable with.
Good luck!

If they are really telling you that hey think they did, the best thing to do is tell them you forgive them and then forget it all. Carrying a grudge can only hurt you. It may be the start of a newer friendlier relationship.
Peace and Love!
