The comparison wasn't meant to equate alpha/beta relationship with the parent/child relationship. But just as a parent can become comfortable in that role over time, one should consider whether an alpha personality has come into their sense of self overtime and (as most people do) engage in the behaviors that make them the most comfortable with themselves.
I'm also not attempting to advocate for or against relationships (fictional or otherwise) with an obvious power balance, but "think out" what the emotional underpinnings might be.
