parents&respect - Is It Ever Right To leave them?

hello everyone.

Well i dont think its right to eaquate Geet's situation with any other mundane one; she had to run away not because of any trifle "Abhimaan" or so...she was on the run to save her life from her manica brother and his henchmen who were bent on tasting her blood for the sake of "Izzat"! And her family, eg., her parents , though loving their daughter fierecely, were forced to stand along and be mere bystanders.

yes, if your family tries to kill you !!!!

.
Geet too loves her family. Every time they have been brought up (by Mann, Pinky etc) she angrily shuts the conversation down and you can see the mere mention is too painful for her. Leaving them was the toughest decision she had to make but she wasn't wrong.

In a way, she had no choice. Brij tried to KILL her for not aborting the baby and her parents to an extent did agree the baby being aborted would be the best thing for all of them. Although her dad did try and help her, he and the rest of the family let the problems escalate to the point where it did.

Maan accused her many times that she would never have the strength to stand up to her family and when she finally did, it resulted in Brij going to jail and her dadaji basically saying she had no place in the family. Again, her parents didn't say anything. They cried, were upset, screamed her name but there was no intiative or stance taken.

Why didn't they move out with Geet? They let their pregnant and only daughter leave home with no money and limited job prospects. Could you imagine what someone like Geet would grow thru if they didn't have someone like Maan in their lives? Knowing my parents they would have taken me away from such a situation much before it ever got to the point where Brij tried to kill her.

So I dont think it's fair to judge Geet's actions. Although they are her parents they're not god, they didn't protect her when she needed them the most and I think they will mend their relationship but it will take time......

On to Dev, she only recalls him because what he did can never be forgiven or forgotten. In a way we can see why her family acted the way they did. Although their reasons are pathetic, they are a product of that chauvanistic society. However, Dev could have chosen many different paths to get the money he needed. He destroyed her and she will carry a reminder of that for the rest of her life.

I think it was right on Geet's part to leave her family, including her mom and dad! I can understand where you are coming from but what Geet has faced is horrid! She definitely loved her parents but what she had to endure.....her very own family tried to kill her......and what her parents did to save her.....nothing! I agree Daarji and Brij never let anyone speak but her mom and dad did nothing except for begging and pleading and crying......Geet was the only one fighting it out.....am not saying that her parents are bad and that they don't love Geet or care for her......but they let her suffer and Geet knew that if she did not leave them she would be made to suffer her entire life......sometimes, it's just best to leave your loved ones.....you have to leave your emotions aside and move on in life......what Geet did was very practical......I really don't think that lesses her love and respect for her parents even a bit......the circumstances she was in demanded that.
