The feeling that you have to be right no matter what. People with a Parent Complex feel like the only way to win an argument is to make sure that the other person always walks away dissatisfied.

Get the Parent Complex mug.A close/best friend that still loves you, but no longer needs you for support, entertainment, guidance, affection, etc., and gradually stops involving you in their life/seeking you out in the same way or for the same reasons.
They still love you and will still answer/respond at the same rate when you reach out to them, but will no longer contact you on their own unless it's a special occasion, an emergency, or they need something specific.
Much like how children and young adults stop wanting to spend time with their parents and would rather spend time with their friends instead.
Being parent-zoned means you've essentially been replaced as a friend but without any malice or loss of love / emotional importance.

He still treats me with a lot of love and respect and is always there when I need him, but he doesn't call or text nearly as much as he used to. His personal situation hasn't changed, guess I've just been parent-zoned.

Get the Parent banning mug.Being parent-fluid does not mean that you lack parents. It indicates that you choose who your parents are.
Your selection is based on personal preference. You may elect to keep one of your own parents and discard another. Or you may choose to keep both birth parents. An alternate scenario is when you have lost one or more of your parents due to abandonment or death. This issue can be easily remedied by selecting one or more parents from the pool known as the human race.
Parent Fluidity means that you do not need to keep your parents forever. Once they have expired or irritated, you may spin the wheel and choose new ones. There is no limit to how many times you may amend your parentage.
You also can be loud and proud of having no parents. We support that lifestyle choice too.

I'm parent-fluid. I'm not able to keep a relationship going with Dad as he talks too much, so I have replaced him with Mike the butcher for the time being. If Mike doesn't work out, I might stay parent-less for a while or see who else is out there.
