If you rearranged the characters in the dream, would it make more sense? For example, if you were the child?

Maybe you're working through the various senses of responsibility of the players. People who owed you a duty of protection? I'm sorry if I'm way off, but you seem pretty distressed. It sounds to me like you do understand the responsibilities of the various adult parties, even though the dream is not comforting.

I hope you get some restful sleep, in its place.
