Was Freud Crazy or Correct?

"The Oedipus complex" is Sigmund Freud's theory in which he believes through a self-analysis that all children go through a stage in which they "love their opposite-sex parent and hate their same-sex parent." Having these thoughts normally happen in your unconscious mind as in when you're dreaming. Many people wake up feeling guilty for having these thoughts, but it is completely a normal stage if you don't feel like you will actually act out on these dreams. It also has to do with your superego. You don't show feelings from your superego very often because it shows your unconscious feelings.

Oedipus doesn't even know that Laius is his father or that Jocasta is his mother but because of the curse and his wishes that he had as a child, it happens anyway. When Oedipus found out, he committed these crimes, he felt terrible.

I have seen little boys and little girls who are very attached to their opposite-sex parent. An example of that would be when a little girl is
