Transference

Beware of getting involved with someone who seems to be treating you as their parent. They are not necessarily much younger than you. Eventually, they will start projecting on you all the negative behaviours of their actual parent, which will be quite baffling. At the same time they will resent the ways in which you are different from their actual parent. Eventually, an unconscious incest taboo will kick in. They will leave, refusing any further contact and it will feel to you like a son dying.
