I don't know how many of you are married,a mother.i am.i've been married for 11 years,have 3 beautiful children.
If tomorrow I was in Ratans shoes(god forbid!),I don't know,maybe I would react the same way.
When you have been married for so long,had the perfect love & suddenly your life is shattered this way,it's only normal to feel what ratan is feeling.its such a big betrayal.the hurt,pain,betrayal,& humiliation she feels is normal.and I think many of you forget that shes pregnant therefor hormonal.i know what that's like!
There are some boundaries in a relationship that one just cannot cross against the other.this is the ultimate betrayal a husband can commit.not only does ratan know that her husband has been with another women,he has a child with that women,a child she so badly wanted after her son.That has to hurt.
Coming to her being irresponsible towards her son,well in time her maternal instinct will kick in,just right now she's wounded.
She knows that the child is there in her home so she's finding it hard to come out of her room,to face that child who reminds her of her pain.
It's a good story and I'm enjoying it.im looking forward to seeing the story unfold on a beautiful relationship of a brother and sister.
Sorry for going on and on,just giving my point of view.
I think every woman would deal with the situation differently. Some have this inborn strength to immediately wear an armor and go forward minding everyday business. And some would react like Ratan and feel that the sky has fallen on them. But, I feel the majority of women would put their feelings in the back burner and tend to her children's need. I am sure even the unmarried girls and married who have yet to be a mother would feel this way. There is a saying that goes something like this...God created mother because he could not tend to all the children... something like that.
