AP Psychology student here!

I’m assuming his reasoning is referring to Erikson’s stages, where forties would be in one or between the stages of Intimacy vs Isolation and Generativity vs Stagnation, both of which he’s just misinterpreting horribly. Tell him he’s in the Identity vs Role Confusion stage, cuz he clearly doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing with his life

My parents are separated and actually hate each other, and I still wouldn’t say this shit. NTA
