Family Romance


The adolescent is developing a family romance: there are two sets of parents, one rich, noble, powerful and protective deities assimilated. They are the parents of the past, idealized by the child. The other couple is humble, common, subject to daily limits. It is the parents discovered the teenager. These two sets of parents compete in the imagination of the youth. He then weaves a family saga in which he will recover his rights and privileges. This reveals the regressive process towards reassuring the relationship of early childhood, and gradual process that can accept the reality.

Fantasy role change: the teen wants to take the place of a parent by usurping the rights of adults. It is an adult instead of the father or mother. He considers his parents, advises, infantilizes. This is a requirement to become adults. The adolescent thus identified with images of parents walls.
