I keep having nightmares about my former friend-turned-worst-enemy!
I met my best friend in high school. We got along like sisters. But my friend made lots of poor choices. She had her first 3 kids while we were still teenagers. She drank heavily, had abusive relationships, was promiscious, etc.
When my friend had her fifth child, I agreed to move in with her and her newest husband to help care for the kids.
It was a bad idea. They were always angry with me, wanting me to watch the kids longer hours, keep the house cleaner, train the dogs better, etc.
When their dog had puppies, they gave me one... but then would torture me by yelling at and hitting the puppy, locking it in the cage for days, threatening to take it to the pound, etc.
I stayed mostly because I was very attached to the children.
I moved out last month. After I moved out, they became very angry and accused me of stealing from them. They made nasty phone calls to me, posted things on my Facebook, and otherwise tormented me however they could. I did everything I could to cut them out of my life, even though it meant I'd never see the children again.
The problem is I've been having nightmares. Every night I dream about them. Many of my dreams involve my former friend not allowing me to leave her house, or trying to take my puppy away. I also dream about the kids a lot. I wake up sad or frightened, every morning.
I feel like they are still controlling me, even though I no longer live with them or see them.
How can I get these people out of my head????!!!

Well there is a few things you can do to handle the situation. You could just let it go. Or, make everything right. For me honestly those two people are expendable. I'd worry more about the children and the animals. I'd recommend you report them and have the kids put in better homes. and the animals put in better homes too. But do not be afraid of your ex friend and her husband. When times get tough I'd say stand your ground for what's right. And those kids and the dogs need a better life. But thats how I would handle it. You can consider this as an option but i hope a more simple and discrete option that you may feel comfortable with can be available. Hope this may be helpful.
