One fact we have to comprehend is that in our unconscious mind, we cannot distinguish, between wish and a deed. we are all aware of some of our illogical dreams in which two completely opposite statements can exist side by side - very acceptable in our dreams but unthinkable and illogical in our waking sate. just as our unconscious mind cannot differentiate between the wish to kill somebody in anger and the act of having done so, the young child is unable to make this distinction. The child who angrily wishes his mother to drop dead for not having gratified his need will be traumatized greatly by the actual death of his mother - even if this event is not linked loosely in time with his destructive wishes. He will always take part of or the whole of the blame for the loss of his mother. He will say to himself, rarely to others, 'I did it. A am responsible. I was bad, therefore mummy left me'. It is well to remember that the child will react in the same manner if he loses a parent by divorce, separation or desertion. Death is often seen by the child as an impeachment and therefore has little distinction from a divorce in which he may have an opportunity to see a parent again.
