I refuse to take Freud-related theories seriously. Dude MADE THINGS UP. Sorry, not doing it.
And the funny, funny thing is the person who brought up Freud mentioned that they didn't believe in his work either. They just felt that Russell must, because Rose had such an obvious Electra complex. The amount of 'dude, the fuck?' that those words induced can't be quantified.
The two of them are in very different categories in her head. She doesn't want Pete to sacrifice himself to save her, but on some level she accepts his belief that he's her dad and it's his job. Not ever with the Doctor. She will NOT let him send her away and keep her safe.
*nods*
The difference can be pretty easily seen in the difference between her resigned acceptance in Father's Day and her determination in PotW (or TSP or DD).
