I've never had to repair my relationship with my mom, so I can't speak from first-hand experience. But, a number of years ago, my best friend's younger sister was really on the outs with her mom, and they were often at each other's throats. She even left home to live with relatives in another city when she was still in highschool. Anyway, one day it all came spewing out that the younger sister thought the mom liked the older sister better and that she (the younger one) was hated, not wanted, not good enough, etc. Well, the mom and younger sister eventually talked it out (since the mom had absolutely no idea that that was what the younger sister was thinking and feeling) and made amends to each other, and the relationship has been quite good ever since. So, I think it is possible to repair a damaged mother/daughter relationship at some point, but it can sometimes be hard work.
