It is often said that there is no love like a mother’s love.
Once in a while, however, there are cases in which a man
comes to love his mother a little too much. They can
become fixated on them, or too attached to them. They
have difficulty separating themselves from the woman
who brought them into the world and raised them. You
might be surprised to find that history has no shortage
of famous men who had a mother complex. The effect of
this complex differs from person to person as well.
J .M. Barrie wrote the wonderful story Peter Pan, which
has become one of the best-loved children’s books of all
time. In the book, there is a place called Never-Never
Land, a place where children never grow up. Tn real life
“Jamie” would dress in his dead brother’s clothes and
spend long hours in the dark with his mother, consoling
her over the death of his brother and her son. Some say
this is the reason he did not grow much from his teenage
years on. In other words, he stopped growing. Later,
in adulthood, this short man wrote memoirs about his
mother that shocked people all over England. He was
clearly a man who adored his mother.
Houdini was one of the greatest magicians ever. His
specialty was breaking out of dark places from which
there was no escape. Some psychologists think that
Houdini was really trying to experience childbirth over
and over again. This is the reason that he put himself
into dark, dangerous places from which he had to break
out into the world of light. It was similar to a baby’s body
coming out into the world.
After his mother passed away, Houdini went from
psychic to psychic because he hoped to find someone
who could put him in touch with her. Some saw him
spend hours lying on his mother’s grave, talking
toward the ground. Apparently, he was unsuccessful at
communicating with his mother, though he did succeed in
creating a greater distance between his wife and himself.
Yukio Mishima, the renowned Japanese writer,
spent his childhood as the object of a tug-of-war. His
grandmother, a tough woman who emphasized discipline
and manners, and his mother, an emotional and
outgoing woman, battled to influence young Yukio. His
grandmother passed away while he was a teenager,
but taught him to function smoothly in the world.
Consequently, he spent most of his time with his mother,
whom he adored. After his death, his mother supposedly
said, “At last, my lover has returned to me.”
Mishima presented himself as a tough, disciplined,
“manly” man, while in private, he kept male lovers in
a passionate, emotional world. He was clearly a man
of two worlds. Did this have something to do with his
complex over his mother?
The effect of a mother complex on an individual can
differ from person to person. Though the cause was the
same for all of these three men, the results were very
different. Too much of a good thing can be bad for us.
Eating too many sweets, for example, leads to decayed
teeth, weight problems, and more. By the same token,
a mother’s love is special, but too much of it can be
unhealthy.
