Letters to the Editor
-
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.
