The daughter is talking about the abuse she went through and the mom is talking about how she drove her nuts and drove her to drink. And even admits to beating her with a belt, stuffing stockings in her mouth to muffle the sounds of her beating. And the mom continually smiles and laughs at hearing this stuff. Like it is funny. If they lied they were given a teaspoon of hot sauce and not allowed any water. The mother is just being on the show for closure and after it wants nothing to do with her daughters. I remember my childhood and it was perfect compared to this. I can't imagine having a childhood like this. My grandmother was rather strict but not mean like this woman. Mom worked and was tired but even then she wasn't mean to me. What about yours? Did you have a nice childhood?

That breaks my heart!
My childhood wasn't good.. I did not get beatings such as this, but I was abused in other ways. I'm not really hurt by any of it anymore, for awhile I was really angry at my mother because she knew what was going on and didn't do anything about it.. that's the part that hurt the worst. I eventually came to terms with the fact that it was her problem and not mine that she treated me that way. I've moved on.

@celticeagle She was strong enough, she just didn't care. I don't think she ever really wanted me and she did her best to get rid of me. I spent more than half of my childhood being raised by a family friend, and that's where I ended up living during my teen years after I moved out of my mother's house. You will often hear me refer to a "foster mom", that is what I call the woman who raised me. It was not court ordered, as it was by choice... but it is too confusing to explain it all the time so I just say foster mom. She passed away in 2007.

@katsmeow1213 --I am sorry to hear about your life. Some women shouldn't have children and should be allowed to have the choice. Where was dad? Children should be loved.

Glad to ear you have been able to move on Sorry to hear that you were abused. Sounds like your mother wasn't strong enough to do what was right.

It is little wonder why people have problems later on in life if it starts out so rotten. Something is terribly wrong with those people. I've watched Dr Phil and what he finds amazing is how the people in trouble are not aware of their faults. When they believe him at least they can move forward. Sad families.

Terribly wrong is right. A lot of these people are in denial too. Sad that the kids had to go through all of it.

@Bluedoll That's right they shouldn't. Too much protection isn't good either. I had a friend who was over protective and her kids rebelled and were hurt because of ignorance of the outside world.

@celticeagle They shouldn't need to. My family was always one to protect the children even it meant part of that protection was from them self in times of stress.

Yes I can say I am one of the few who had a nice early childhood. Too bad some people aren't fit to be parents. Maybe the mom got pregnant and she didn't really want the kid. Who knows why other parents become like that.

@celticeagle Uhm but that would have a bad psychological effect on the woman too. Unless she has no conscience at all.

It's horrible. One more reason I believe a woman should have the choice of an abortion. Better to end a child's existence early on that have them exposed to torture and a horrible look at life.

I had lost my mother when I was three years old, so I didn't get to know here. I went to live with my aunt, who raised both my brother and I. My aunt and uncle were strict, but never beat us oanything like that. I do remember though, having my mouth washed out with soap a few times, and believe me, that taught me a lesson. It tasted horrible, but meant to. I think it was fro talking bacl to my aunt, but not exactly sure. Just the fact that I had to eat soap has stuck with me all these years.

I had my mouth washed out with soap too by my grandmother. That stuck with me too. I don't swear or use fowl language of any kind.

@celticeagle I live alone, and I still don't use bad language. My aunt did what she thought was right, and I never hated her for it, as it really changed me, and I never did it again.

@rosekiss I don't have any bad feelings toward my grandmother either. She was a strict Baptist and was doing what she believed was best.

I had a good child hood and that woman above who was so abusive should have never had kids or given them up for adoption. Some people are never meant to have kids.

I did too. I agree with you. So many people are just down right selfish.
