  • Is the broader point perchance,

    intended or not - on this most sanctified, special and desperately needed day - that Opus, unable or unwilling to relate authentically as an adult to another adult in his past, must instead use a stand-in and a culturally-sanctioned script and cannot tolerate the distress generated by an accidental, off-script, real exchange in the here-and-now that might challenge him to grow out of his need for an idealized, caretaking “Mother”?

    Just like children everywhere?

    Happy Arrested Childhood Day.
