"Children" in a metaphorical sense are neural pathways and nervous system activation in various areas of the body.
They are created by the "Parents" as a response and adaptation to the environment.
"Mother" is an unseparated union between consciousness and the unconscious (inside).
"Father" – environmental demands (outside). Society as a whole, or just another person.
When inside meets the outside, a matrix of strategies of expression is being born: how to present oneself and what to avoid. It is a negotiation of memes (analogous to genes in physical reproduction). Authenticity vs. constriction created by otherness (an outside perception).
This matrix is the Child: an emergent biological structure of nervous system activation patterns. Not an abstraction, literally a living thing. That's why, for example, when relationships end, it feels like death: a structure that has emerged specifically as an adaptation to a specific person is now useless.
Unstable and toxic relationships in this frame are characterised by a constant child sacrifice demand. These kinds of relationships can be between people or between entities (legal entities, for example, like corporations or countries). And sometimes such relationships may happen between people and entities. Which makes me think... some modern empires are alive only because of a constant "children" sacrifice: cultural norms don't allow enough space for authenticity, and so certain adaptations can't fully emerge. And there is a pressure to emerge coming from the unconscious, so it's pretty uncomfortable to stay small.
