I agree with Freud’s thinking because as children we tend to idolize our parents and follow everything they do. Because our parents are the ones that are around us, we pick up and learn what is right or wrong from them. Not everything they do is necessarily right or wrong, but we perceive what they do by the way we are taught.  I think a big part of growing up is finding out who you are without your parents. People call it a self-journey and I think it is necessary to go through a journey where you find yourself and develop your own notions away from the ideas of parents or guardians around. I’m not entirely in agreement with his ideas surrounding the oedipal concepts, I find them to be a little disturbing actually. This is not entirely helpful in understanding my own family relations, but I understand the ideas surrounding putting your parents on a pedestal and learning how to live on your own.
