> I really am interested to here if anyone out there has had similiar experiences or can empathize....Yup. I still have occasional violent dreams regarding my father as an adult. He was abusive while I was growing up, and in my dreams I'm usually shouting FU in his face or kicking the s**t out of him. I doubt this will ever go away, and perhaps it shouldn't. Maybe it's my mind's way of dealing.
I don't presume to entirely blame psychological/psychiatric problems on my parents, but in truth I believe they bear a large responsibility.
I can recall as an adolescent trying to arbitrate peace between my parents when they fought horribly in front of my siblings and I. It was certainly not a supportive or safe environment, and I have no doubt that these experiences resulted in mental illness, or psychiatric symptoms. None whatsoever.
Peace.
