The vast majority of parasites are committed by minors who live with their parents.
Really?
We're talking well over 90%.
Teenage boys are the most likely to commit parasites
teenage girls are far less likely.
The victims are usually parents who are somewhat strict or rigid or pillars of the community or perfectionists, have high expectations, impose their wishes, fantasies, and demands on the child, where the interaction is pretty unidirectional.
The parent dictates, the child obeys.
And so I don't want to go into the family dynamics of the Reiner's,
but I would not be shocked or surprised if we were to find out that the father and possibly also the mother were a lot less amicable and chubby than they appear to be, and a lot more strict and rigid and demanding.
This is very common in this.
And so a parasite is an act of rebellion when we interview these killers.
They say, I wanted to be different.
I wanted to have a different life.
There's a lot of envy, a lot of rage, a feeling of extreme inadequacy, which is fostered by the parents.
The inadequacy is fostered.
So there is a process known as internalized bed object.
The parents broadcast to the child, you're a failure, you're inadequate, you're imperfect, you should be fixed, you know, you're broken, you should be fixed, and so on and so forth.
And the child internalizes this external view and renders this view his or her own.
So the child kind of appropriates the parental point of view, and we call it an internalized bed object.
This used to be called a primitive superego, by the way.
