It sounds like she is being coached to remember bad things. My advice? Apologize. Tell her, "During the custody battle, we were ALL under a lot of stress. As adults, we can get frustrated just like kids. The spatula incident is one in which we regret that it happened, but it did, and we are sorry. The belt incident is simply false, there was no bruise. There was a red mark, but even a 'time out' chair will leave a red mark if you sit on it long enough. We are not perfect, we made and will continue to make mistakes. I am sorry for any of the mistakes that hurt you, emotionally or physically. Asd for calling you selfish, you, at the time, were acting selfish, and as your parents, it is our job to point that kind of behavior out so you can modify it as you become an adult. If there was a better way of doing that, you can try that with your own children, we did the best we could at the time. Is there anything we can do to rectify the situation, or did you just need to get that off your chest?"

Like.

At camp, you do find kids opening up about their lives and sometimes it triggers a memory or a feeling. Maybe these aren't how they happened or maybe these aren't how they happened in your mind. Either way I think the best thing to do is acknowledge the feelings and see what it takes to help her sort the feelings out. It may hurt, but parenting does hurt sometimes.
