Can anyone recommend some readings on this topic.  Is it part of the whole N pathology?

Hello Less,

I'm not sure what you mean here...are you looking for information about "emotional incest", that is, that the parent has replaced their spouse with one of their children to meet their emotional needs for a partner?

That certainly sounds right. I saw a psychologist 2 weeks ago and she mentioned "the partnered child" as I was leaving.  Maybe that is just a nice way of saying incest. I'd rather not say it myself - maybe sexual interference is more accurate in my case. Not sure.  Just beginning to call things what I suppose they really were.  Emotional incest - I've never heard that - it conveys so much. Thank you Seeker.

Howdy Les(s),

I think Seeker is on to something there - emotional incest. There is a book called "the emotional incest syndrome".

In any case, putting emotional incest as a key word in the computer brought up a lot of stuff. I don't know if you've tried it yet, but it seems pretty fascinating.

BTW I think many of us on this board are avocationally interested in psychological stuff because of our backgrounds, and it seems like there is much knowledge abounding here.

Good luck. And I'd like some of your cold air thank you very much!

I'll give that a try MM. I'm hopping Posts - but if you come back here maybe you'll get this message.  Meant to comment on your love of B.C.  I have quite an attachment too. I was born in Vancouver ( but live in Ontario now.)It is spectacular. My sister is hiding out there! Escaped!

I lived in Madison,Wisc in the early 70's - what a time for a wide-eyed innocent but never been to Texas. I'll see what I can do about that cold air. Yes, there is a such an abundance of knowledge out here - I feel like I'm moving through this stuff so rapidly now.  So many years going around in circles but not now.  Y'all stay cool now.  Less
