I understand this, I've been through some tough periods with my siblings and parents too.
However more to the point of power dynamics I would abstract a bit further. Usually the "victim" feeling is actually coming from a feeling of powerlessness, that's the side of the power dynamic.
So how can one regain their power in a situation of feeling powerless? Often it comes down to responsibility and its proportion.
Your responsibility only goes as far as your own self. You may be feeling some responsibility, and this of course happens when a person projects guilt on to others such as he is doing, and that actually results in your own hurt feelings of powerlessness.
The fact is, a relationship is a two-way street and you are not responsible for both directions.
