Implicit [in the psychiatric literature] is a set of normative assumptions regarding the father’s prerogatives and the mother’s obligations within the family, The father, like the children, is presumed to be entitled to the mother’s love, nurturance, and care. In fact, his dependent needs actually supersede those of the children, for if a mother falls to provide the accustomed intentions, it is taken for granted that some other female must be found to take her place. The oldest daughter is a frequent choice… The father’s wish, indeed his right, to continue to receive female nurturance, whatever the circumstances, is accepted without question.
