It consists of the child fantasizing that they are not the biological son or daughter of their parents. This occurs when a parent fails to reciprocate affection to their child; consequently, urging them to seek retaliation through imaginary means. The Family Romance theory explains the cultural phenomenon behind children detaching themselves from their parents in order to gain independence.
