DH has basically lost his woman. Levi comes to our bed every night to cuddle with me. On Friday, I went into his room so I could sleep. Levi woke up, sat straight up (according to papa) and asked where's momma? DH told him I was in his room. He came in and slept with me. Once he was out, I went back to our bed. This musical beds repeated itself twice during the night. It was funny ...

Well this is what you might call a nightmare situation, it's great for moms to be caring and everything but there are limits, and who wants your mom to see you in the buff, especially when you're aroused, it's just too Oedipal. LOL

I hope this isn't too grim a topic; OTOH we've got a lively discussion of movie deaths going, so here goes: There are plenty of movies out there with "Oedipal" themes: son kills father, or younger man defeats/kills older man. I'm curious about a theme that hasn't gotten as much press from Freud and his successors, but which has equally strong roots in ancient mythology: matricide, literal or...

IS RUSH LIMBAUGH THE PARTY SPOKESMAN FOR YOU? Who Are You Calling a Narcissist, Rush? By MAUREEN DOWD Published: November 3, 2009 I had a four-hour dinner once with Rush Limbaugh at the “21” Club in Manhattan, back in the days when I was still writing profiles as a “reporterette,” to use a Limbaugh coinage. He was charming, in a shy, awkward, lonely-guy way. Not a man of the people. He ...

If you were to style Hamlet as a sort of Oedipus, you'd probably have to accept an Ophelia/Laertes attraction too, otherwise it just becomes a quick answer to Hamlet's madness. I think most people who buy into the Oedipal thing do so because they see Hamlet as being like Shakespeare and Shakespeare's wife was older than him- but again, that's looking beyond the text.

Washburn speaks about the primal split...the split that happens in the self concept of the pre-oedipal child at about 2 years of age, when he/she realizes that the world is separate from it and fear awakens. This primal event is brought on by the behavior of its mother, who begins to pull away, to punish the child for crying, to withdraw and leave the child alone in its crib to cry itself to ...

LOL! No, they're rough on the wankery here I'll get all Oedipal on you, I tell you But maybe a generational coming-of-age, a sadness about (or exploration of) being The Parent, an orphan now (I've actually heard that in real life). Maybe it concludes in a circle of life idea. Or if mental illness plays a role, there could be themes of fear and Otherness. Betrayal/...

Quote: I think it's even worse than just a slight Oedipal complex. We see throughout the flashbacks that Lily acts very much like Ginny does "You won't let me?" and is described as being a very bright witch but also "cheeky and vivacious." I think the same words can be used to describe Ginny. It is understandable, though. Harry lived his life without knowing his ...

Po-- As Scully and Brennan would say--seeing is believing. But, I thought that little moment at the bar implied a certain familiarity and "ownership" for wendall--not something a brief moment in her office would engender. I don't care for this pairing because it diminishes Ange and in their prior interactions Ange sort of guided or looked out for the kid---sisterly?? (maternalistically??don't ...
