Getting Into The Family Business

AITOOW thinks you can't marry a person with a mommy or daddy complex if yours is not dead? No matter how much older you are than them (even if you started out as the parental replacement figure), your mommy or daddy become that missing parent they desire and you are disintermediated. The misplaced attention (and respect possibly love/lust) is rerouted to the patriarch/matriarch. You become a sibling. One whom they are trying to supersede in the hierarchy of parental approval. There must be some crazy sexual/political dynamics going on when you insert one of these psychologically needy people into a household of one those cultures where the family all lives together.
