Very funny, Guillermo! You nailed it right on the head.
As the psychologist of our group, I can't help but wonder just how messed up Jack is going to be. First, he did not pass through the two-year-old separation-individuation stage. He maintains the infantile maternal dyad. Breast feeding a five-year-old struck me as extremely creepy. Which leads me to the other major improperly resolved conflict. This kid has a genuine Oedipal situation. He is involved in a quasi-sexual romance with his mother complete with the breast fixation and little erections. And Father really will kill him--that's not juvenile fantasy. Except he vanquishes Father and keeps Mother. Yikes!
