Dear All,

Both of the above are overly possessive about their special child n totally proud about them... For Ishwari it is Dev and for Mr Bose it is Sonakshi.



In my opinion, there's good possession and there's just mean possessiveness.

Every person would feel a spark when their significant other becomes a little jealous and likes to calm them down and build trust. Sometimes people get so hurt and start questioning you and that kind of nagging makes you question their trust.

Be possessive to the extent of being protective but don't ruin their freedom and lone time as it's very important to any person.

Having a possessive feeling for someone in a relationship is a good sign, it means you're getting really attached to the person, the bond is getting tighter and closer.

But over possessiveness is bad, it will make you over think and negative thoughts arise. Eventually it will separate you from your love ones and leave you with guilt and regret.

One needs to control your feelings, and keep the trust. It will all go well with time. And think for a moment do you really want to loose the person your love that much for some stupid thoughts that come to your mind? Key thing here is "Time"

Relationship is like a butterfly, you have to hold it firm enough to not let it go away and delicate enough to not harm it.

Fathers sometimes consider their daughters their "little princess" and fail to accept that they are not her "prince". This leads to all sorts of problems as the little princess turns into a woman, and other rivals come as suitors. Men in this vein have a tendency to reject their teenage daughters, belittle them, infantilise and block their development. The daughter becomes a hostage to their Father's needs and expectations, and when she tries to break free, her attempts are resisted increasingly strongly, and resented if she succeeds. Here Mr. Bose was possessive in a good way, sensitive to her wishes yet cautious about her choice if it rests well for her life.


Mothers sometimes consider their sons their "little man", often disappointed in the men in their lives (in this case, her husband died too early), this new little man can easily become the carrier of all their unmet dreams and aspirations, their reparation fantasy of the perfect man they have sought all their lives and never found. Investing in this relationship from this standpoint is a bit like working hard to keep a hostage too. They may also excuse and even ignore their son's abuse of others by blaming the victims, sometimes accepting abusive behaviour from him themselves making themselves wrong for it.
Mothers in this situation often over-demonstrate their care and keep their sons dependent upon it, portraying them as deeply needy, misunderstood, and only truly able to be nurtured by her.

It can be a painful process for mothers to let go of their children - they have to be willing to fill the yawning gap left behind when they become truly independent. When they are enmeshed across gender - fathers with daughters, mothers with sons, it can be especially painful.

In this case, Ishwari is overly and meanly possessive to the extent that she is totally indifferent and insensitive to her son's happiness and on the other hand, Mr. Bose who's intolerant possessiveness brought him to Dev's home looked intervening but it was eventful. He was able to really hear it out that Ishwari is wonderfully masking her real self with Dev and has no interest or respect for Sonakshi even as a person, forget a daughter in law being accepted whole heatedly as a daughter, a life partner for her most beloved son, Dev.

I really wish we all know how to differentiate the fine line of possessiveness which is protective and which are harmful ones. And all the best to Ishwari n Bose.

Would like to know your views too...

Love,

Sajini

First of all the posture of Baaba in this picture is disturbing to me😕... Is it because he's the girl's father or is it because The Dixits' are rich🤔? I wonder what would have been Ishwari's attitude if she is not a rich one.. Would she have behaved the same way or all this attitude due to her financial status?🥱

Thanks for your post dear...👏

I really would like to see the CVs focusing on the Bose family if not more at least equally like the Dixits'.. I know the negative environment has more potential for drama and to keep the show running😆.. But shows should take responsibility in projecting good environment and giving attention to the positivity they bring into people's lives😃..

Now that the Boses' also having an equally impacting bad incident happened to their daughter, they should get the right focus showing the right light 👍🏼t. They needn't be perfect.. But whatever they do in their own ways should be inspiring too.. They needn't use them as comedy element here.. But every scene of theirs can end in a feel good moment bringing a smile to our face.. looking forward to it...


Remembering the silly crazy ways the siblings tried to cheer up Sona during her gloomy days.🤗. Now we can see Asha, Baaba and Daadi joining them to bring more cheers to her.. Hope they don't rush her into other things...😃

Umm... I agree with you that Ishwari is this, but I don't this Bijoy is an over-possessive parent. He has never intervened into Sona's life as long as everything is fine. The only reason he went to Dev's house was because he knew Sona was morphing into a person she isn't because of someone else.

Mr. Bose who's intolerant possessiveness brought him to Dev's home looked intervening but it was eventful.

Not mean like Ishwari

outstanding articulation of thoughts.. you have hit the nail on the head. the analogy with holding the butterfly is beautiful. could not agree more.

apart from what you have so beautifully written, it is also about how one comes across with "non-family" members during such times of internal conflict. ishwari is downright rude. Vijay is polite. I recall when the first time Dev broke up Sona's prospective relationship by calling in her personal time. Vijay went to Dev's house to speak to him. He was stern but polite. It is not easy to be so during conflict.

These are small things that we learn as we grow in life.. After all, Life is about learning and living.
