EssenceThese personalities live with the idea that father's will is law. But that is not a problem or a question. They think that their father knows best and has the best intention, as the leader of the family. This is obvious and they don’t even think of it as a problem. Of course the father can also be replaced by the mother, when she is the central figure in the family.
As a family they have strict rules and order. They are old-fashioned, living according to principles; not warm, not violent. Father is often domineering, strict, stubborn, from a strict upbringing. Father’s will is so normal, obvious, imprinted in their belief system that it is not expressed or discussed. Discussions are impossible; agitation and emotions should be avoided. They have an aversion to conflicts in the family. Conflicts are impossible; the harmony must be kept by following the rules.
