A boy who is drawn to the mother figure and alienated from the father figure is a Freudian Oedipus.
Specifically, Sigmund Freud (May 6, 1856 - September 23, 1939) linked this stage in a boy's development to the ancient Greek story of Theban King Oedipus, who kills his father, marries his mother, and therefore becomes both father and half-brother to his own children. Killing the father symbolizes the great emotional and physical distance between son and father. Marrying the mother symbolizes her great emotional and physical appeal as the main information source in the early years of a boy's life.
A healthy outcome is possible when the boy passes into later boyhood and adolescence and the father becomes the role model regarding making one's way through the world, holding down a job and settling into family life. But there also is the possibility of unhealthy outcomes, ranging from symbolic to actual attachments and alienations.
