Beyond Dependence and Independence from Parents

A man asks about whether it is necessary to create a separate self in order to grow up. Rupert suggests that we do have to reject our parents to develop a sense of a finite self. We move from dependence on parents to independence from them in adolescence. However, most adults don’t go beyond this rebellion. We support independence whilst demonstrating this felt sense of shared being.
