You learn to identify the parts of you that are not exactly you, your parents, and you learn to put a firewall between these parts and the rest of you.
But what if you are dysregulated?
What if your internal defenses are weak?
What if you're mentally ill?
What if you are...
then you need to get rid of these parts.
These parts become overwinning, domineering, tyrannical, and you need to get rid of these parts.
And sometimes the only way to get rid of them is to physically kill your parents on very rare occasions.
Well, not so rare, actually.
About two to four percent of crimes committed involve family members.
Parasite is intimately linked to adolescence and the fact that in adolescence there is a phenomenon known as identity diffusion.
Yes.
Identity is not settled yet.
There's a lot of experimentation, a lot of angst about who I am and what's the meaning of my life and where am I going and so on.
A lot of anxiety and depression in this period of life.
Yes, there is what we call negative identity formation, where you define yourself in contradistinction, in opposition to the parental figure.
You say, I am never going to be like my mother, or I am going to be someone who is the opposite of my father, or whatever.
None of this works, by the way.
So there is a lot of inherent tension that is innate, that takes place in the adolescent's mind, that is very often not evident and not observable.
Be that as it may, the statistics are very clear.
