Does Karen have a Oedipus complex


By haveing sex with her sons best friend she was actually screwing her son.

I came here to ask the same thing. He wasn't just her son's best friend, his mom was constantly absent, so he would stay over Karen's house for long periods of time. Which means that she would effectively be his surrogate mom during that time. And now she's hot for him and putting out.
Hot... I guess... :-/

Karen was giving reasoning for it in Season 3. Also when he came back from Anneapolis, it was kind of fucking a young Ed. So she did it to feel young too, reasonable for a woman in her menopause. The problem is more on Danny side as he got so obsessed with her that he even become a drug addict.

Yeah Karen must have seriously put it on him, because he's got a smoking hot wife, yet he's fixated on a 50 something year old woman that he smashed 20 years ago.
