Yes, that describes it really well, in SV as well as my little thing. Even a healthy parent child relationship involves trying to escape your parents--it's nature. You're in bad shape if your parent doesn't want to let you go,for whatever reason.
though I think Clark does want things to be black and white, he ignores the way his own decisions blur into grey areas as often as he needs to
yep, it's that denial that is so irritating about Clark, that and his insistence that Lex follow a moral code that Jonathan has taught him, one that his pop doesn't follow himself, you know?
