It is called an "Oedipus complex," though. *clears throat in anticipation of being a bore and a pedant*
An Oedipus complex refers to the son who wants to kill his father and marry his mother. Marty doesn't have that. (He's also not going to blind himself, yay!) What Lorraine has is a "Jocasta complex," which refers to Oedipus's mother/wife and is used to refer to a mother who is attracted to her son. It's normally used in conjunction with a mother who knows that her son is her son, but it fits with Lorraine unusually well because Jocasta definitely did not know that Oedipus was her son.
