Oedipal Complex

          For much of class today we were discussing Oedipus Rex and somehow the condition, Oedipal Complex came up into conversation. When I heard this I immediately started researching it because it is extremely weird. A definition from Simplypsychology. org reads, "During this stage, children experience an unconsiocus feelings of desire for their opposite-sex parent and jealousy and envy toward their same-sex parent". I honestly cannot even imagine seeing someone have a true obsession with one of their parents. Your parents are supposed to be someone that you love dearly, but one of them shouldn't literally be your everything to the point of obsession and hatred towards the other parent.
