I don’t think a father cannot take zero credit. Rather, for a long time the emphasis has been too heavily weighted on family; there are many other forces at play.

Well, that we my self-effacement shtick, not the core of my argument per se. It seems rather obvious that parents play a role; I offered a jab at the parenting culture I've had to negotiate for 15 years. Humor is hard earned in this here social media!

I wasn't criticizing, you made a coherent case: Given that humans are the hyper-connected result of vast converging forces, any individual influence is overwhelmed.

The father not being the only influence does not mean that he isn't a significant influence. We don't even need D&G for this. It's common sense that people knew for thousands of years.

I don’t like how a psych normalizes familial relations - as if everyone starts with the same relationship with their father, then it diverges into one or another typical disfunction; it’s hard to think about an individual case. Guattari’s method does not have this problem I think

Exactly. I think this was where I was headed: a local analytics as distinct from a universalist one. I wanted to call it a rhetorics.
