In Freud’s Family Romance, Freud pointed out that a class of neurotics can be determined by children’s failure in the liberation of an individual. Then Freud analyzed the reason of this neurotics. First, Freud said, “For a small child his parents are at first the only authority and the source of all belief. (Freud 237)” I completely agree with this idea. When we were little kids, our parents are the persons who we could always come into contact with. It can be said that our parents are the first teachers in our life. Our parents can influence children in many ways. The little kids wished to be like his father and mother. Freud thought that kids started to compare his parents with others and even to criticize them because of the small events in child’s life which dissatisfied him and make him feel unloved. Then, Freud stated that the estrangement between the neurotics and their parents lead to the beginning of ‘the neurotic’s family romance’. Child revenged parents through phantasies. I agree with Freud’s thinking. In my view, children are very sensitive to small event and easy to misunderstand their parent’s behaviors. So, I think Freud’s thinking is correct. It isn’t useful or helpful to understand my own family relations because I am the only child of my parents and my mother often talks with me about my problem. But, the point that the children wish to be big like him father or mother is useful. When I was a little girl, I wish to run a grocery store in the future because my mother ran a grocery store at that time.
