Wtf is up with these complexes developed by Freud?? I have a bachelors in psych so I have studied them but no matter which angle I try to look at it from, I cannot comprehend the reasoning behind them.
Why can’t kids just live their parents and be done with it? I know pretty much everything with Freud was sex but come on now…

If you look at the symbolism employed in dreams, and if you (as in any psychiatrist or psychologist) talk to enough patients who are unable to come to terms with the things they’re thinking, then it makes a lot of sense that our thoughts are hiding from us, coding themselves as other things. It’s quite reasonable to say, as male children we devour the mother, and want to possess her as OURS, because we start out so inherently selfish and so oblivious to social mores. That we might see the other male figure in the house as some kind of competition. It doesn’t seem to track with reality after all, but considering how coded and hidden our thoughts are? Yes, our shameful ideas and concepts would be the most expertly-hidden.
