How can I make my daughter understand that I'm sorry?

Yesterday afternoon my daughter (11) came home upset from basketball practice ( she missed a shot). When I asked her what was wrong, she exploded at me and slapped me across the face. I thanked her for showing me who was in control, but she went on to say how much she hated me for being born. I apologized to her, saying my parents wanted me. My perfect princess stomped on my foot and told me I was useless and pathetic. I apologized again, but she told me to go to my room ( I did). When my husband got home from work, she explained what had happened. My husband is upset with me now that I angered our perfect princess. How do I get her to understand I'm sorry I was born?

    You and your family are sick people. Is your daughter sleeping in your room yet as you said she was going to be in another post?

    Is this a troll or what? Because if not, you're growing a daughter in a wrong way. You can't let her to be under control in the house, because first of all you are the parent and it is you responsibility to teach her how to respect. And, sorry if I have to say this to you.

    Whoa, What! You are the parent and she should not be treating you like this. She should respect you. I understand she was upset and needed some comfort but with out you she would not be here to even participate in basketball. DO NOT BE SORRY YOU WERE BORN! EVER! If you were not born, she would not be either! If she is acting like this at 11 wait til highschool! Null this out now, respect for you in the form of nice words and listening is preferred but respect by not slapping you, stomping on your foot and telling you to go to your room is manditory!

    I think your daughter thought you were mocking her by agreeing with her over and over again. She might not have wanted to see you (act) caring at that moment. She probably only wanted someone to agree with her. That still doesnt give her the right to slap you across the face or stomp on your foot. She should respect you and you, her. Your husband should listen to the story from you and your daughter.

    why are you apologizing to her and thanking her for hitting you? you should have grounded her. why are being such a doormat to your child where she scrapes teh dog crap off her shoes onto you? that's not how a parent is supposed to act
