My daughter and I came into a heated discussion. She was not able to control herself and was able to raised her voice and arguing with me. All of a sudden, she expressed her disappointments regarding my treatment between her and his brother, saying that I am unfair. I felt hurt but I took it positively. At least I became aware that for all the years, she felt that way to me. After we subsided, I just told her that I love her the same as how I loved his brother. But until now, I am trying to ponder, what have I done wrong?

Hello kabayan and welcome! Since this was opened by your daughter, maybe you should asked why did she think so and then maybe you both can make changes and have compromises. Time passed by with her thinking of this, maybe it is about time that you did not intended it that way. I hope the two of you will have better relationship.

I'm sorry you are hurting now, since the difficult confrontation from your daughter.
About a year ago, our adult son (oldest child) had a similar discussion with my husband and me. He angrily told us about some resentments he'd been holding in for years.
We listened and apologized and told him we still loved him the same too. I cried and lost sleep over it for awhile. But after a few months, he acted more loving to us and wanted to spend more time with us.
His dad and I admitted that we did not handle everything right while raising our kids.
I hope that your relationship with your children will get better after some time has passed.
