I grew up living with my mother physically and emotionally abusing me. She could get quite violent with me at times, and told everyone in my family that I was the one who was violent with her. To this day everyone believes her lies.

I've been having nightmares relating to the violence for years now, but recently they've changed - in these new ones, I'm the one becoming violent, with my parents just sitting there, helpless, and taking it. I don't know what to do about these, they leave me confused and feeling guilty, even though I know I never did the things I do in these dreams! What does this mean? Has anyone else experienced something similar?
