Answer 1

The Oedipus complex is named for the Greek myth of Oedipus, a Theban king who unwittingly killed his father and married his mother. Sigmund Freud used the myth as a parallel to his theory that children are attracted to their opposite-sex parent and feel hatred toward their same-sex parent.

Now i wouldn’t say i agree…but i do IN SOME CASES because for a fact i know some guys who are REALLY close to their mothers and same with girls who have relationship with their father, not in a good way, in a really bad way. This friend of mine lost her mother at an early age, hence being closer to her father, her father however 4 years ago developed an alcoholic addiction, and she liked that…somehow, as for the guy friend of mine once told me that he didn’t like his dad very much as his dad gets to spend time with his mother, whilst he have to go to school

And i dont know these people personally but cmon theres a lot of story to ‘toxic-mother-in-laws’ who loves their son too much and wore white to their sons wedding. And them being rude to their daughters bc of jealousy

Answer 2

The most controversial theory of Freud's was when he stated that of the Oedipal Complex, or the notion that boys have a natural, sxual attraction to their mothers. This loose interpretation has made itself well enough known in modern culture that many women will say that to determine whether a man will be a good husband, look at how he treats his mother. He had an emphasis on child s1x1ality, which was thought per1ver1ted.
