My husband and I split up earlier this year because he was being abusive towards me. At first I only thought he had only been psychologically, mentally verbally and emtotionally abusive to me. When I first started counselling I was told to write down anything I started to remember about the times I was abused. I didn't think much of it at that very moment until later on that night. I was having a conversation with my mom and someting she said triggered memories of physical abuse that I had been suppressing. I wrote it down. Now I am having vivid memories of being sexually assaulted in my bedroom but I do not know if it was a dream or not. I can remember everyting but the persons face. Could this just be a dream or potentially the beginning of remembering another suppressed memory?
