As a child, Freud's "confusing" family life included a father who was 20 years older than his step-mother and half-brothers that looked old enough to be his father. True or false?

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) was the son of Jacob Freud and his third wife, Amalia Nathanson. He was born in Freiberg, a part of Austria in those years, now part of the Czech Republic. Freud is considered to be the father of the psychoanalysis that studies the human subconscious.
