Parental Inversion and Substitute Mate - 201 School Lesson 20 (CD)

Parental inversion is defined as a reversal of roles - a parent takes on the child's role, and/or the child takes responsibility, usurping the parental role (usually unconsciously). Substitute mate is a more serious form of this role reversal - where roles become confused and the child becomes the parent's spouse. In this lesson, learn why and how these occur, what the adult fruit of parental inversion is, the symptoms of substitute mate, and how to prayerfully minister to both.
