Familial Attraction

Familial Attraction, also known as Parental Attraction, is a form of tertiary attraction based on a desire for a strong familial attachment, or a desire for emotional closeness with another by virtue of them being family. This can refer to the relationship one has with their actual family, but it can also be the desire for emotional closeness from people unrelated to oneself in a way that that mimics a traditionally/idealized familial bond.
