Examples in REAL life

Hey all

Not very similar. But I have one. My closest friend's mom commited suicide. Her father left her. Has never looked back. She was lucky enough to get wonderful parents in her mama mami though.

Nice post amy

Amy, you'll be surprised to know that as per an article that I read a couple of months ago there are more than 2 million mothers who do not want the custody of their kids and approximately the same amount of single dads (but that also includes a fair share of men who are widow or single dad by choice)..Most of us, rightly or wrongly, raise an eyebrow when we hear of a dad giving up on custodial rights. But, a mom? That goes against everything we believe or choose to believe - about mothers, right? I was also reading about one such mother..I don't remember most of the details now but she mentioned about how people who had known her before understood that her kid was her life while the people whom she met later were harsh to her and considered her an awful mother..She also focused on how one decision just changed her identity and how she struggled to find answer to the question - "If I am not a mother, then who am I? How can I carry on living?" So, she became a de facto mother to her siblings and tried to move ahead on career front just to justify she took the right decision.But, emotionally she was fighting a battle within which she always tried to cover up with a sunny smile..

Hey Prits
Yikes..that many!! 2 million!! Yeah.. abandonment goes against the so called fibre of women species. So quick to judge aren't we? Women are the most scrutinized too. That's why as I mentioned I don't hate the character Nirmala. I only wonder why she didn't keep a tab on Shravan? Wasn't she curious?

I personally know of a different case wherein within a month of marriage , guy came to know the girl was blackmailed into arranged marriage .. She changed and was very difficult to live with .. She had gotten pregnant . She offered give up ur parental right on the child I'll leave u . He readily accepted and gave up . He is now remarried with a child . He didn't look back as he didn't bond with either
