I just read written update these days. Even that is getting difficult. If not for you guys, I won't even bother with the show.

Great post, like always.

Throughout the episode, I kept nodding my head in disbelief. All I can say is, RIP KRPKAB.
So happy that there is good riddance for the weekend!

Who is Ishwari to decide what they should or shouldn't have in their bedroom?</font>

<font size="3" color="#333366">Had Dev came up with the suggestion, I won't have any problem with the swing being in the garden.</font>



Exactly ishwari could have waited for sona to come home and give the same gyan that she gave sona after moving it down and then moved it .. What wss she trying to prove by miving it out when sona was not there??

What is the gaurantee that one day sona wont find her suitcase and and all belongings outside the ishwari nivas ...

I think Sona's main abuser is Dev. Ishwari is causing her grief (in her manipulative ways) but she would have been powerless had Dev shown some guts and exercised his power.
I just created a post on emotional independence and detachment.
In India, women empowerment is still linked to financial independence. However, we have to move towards emotional independence, which is far more difficult to achieve and needs conditioning right from childhood.

Sona married Dev with open eyes, for love and care and carried away in emotions. This is what Sona is made up of. That's why she has lost herself in dixit house, trying to please one and all. Now the reality of Dev is kicking in and will hit her hard. Despite being a self respecting and financially independent, she is losing herself because of her emotional dependency. Let's see when is she able to break from this emotional imbalance cycle.

I wish I could tell you that they can be helped. But unfortunately if someone is blind because they themselves refuse to see, they can't be helped.

However, what can be done for those women are what we call here support groups. A group of women (and men) come together and through their various circumstances and experience try to show them what they themselves are denying or may be can't see because the abuser is someone they love.

I don't make all these posts and invest my time on fictional character. I don't give a damn about Dev, Sona and Ishwari. What I try to do is try to write so that another woman, a real person doesn't think this is love. I try to form a support group for women who may feel more comfortable online to get the support and friendship that they are not comfortable accepting or asking for it in person.

First of all I want to applaud the strong young women in this forum I have interacted with them thru the many posts and kudos to all of you whether married, separated, having young children, single and anything in between. Applause for the young men who see the story for what it is and commenting in a mature way.

As most of you know I am much older than most of you.
I have seen my fair share of this world and have volunteered in battered woman help lines. Emotional abuse is deeply scarring and to come out of it takes years and some don't even come out of it. The kind of abuse they are showing in this show is deeply disturbing.

This show in my opinion is sending out a lot of wrong signals of too many relationships. The makers may have a story to tell but have in my opinion failed in execution of it.

The toxic relationship that a mother and son share in the story may be reality but the moral they are conveying here is wrong. They have to either make the hero strong or the heroine strong in order to impart lessons and they have failed here big time. This is causing uneasiness in a lot of us, hopelessness in some and downright disgust in others.

I for one did write that this show will be a roller coaster ride and not for the faint hearted and I am not faint hearted but the roller coaster needs to be also fun though it may have its dips and this show does not and has essentially killed the essence of a lot of relationships be it between a mother and Son, a husband and wife and the identity of a woman.

I applaud Tia and others like her who brave this show enough to write about it and giving people like me a platform to vent and give out our thoughts

Just like Tia mentioned if someone refuses to help themselves or recognize that there is a problem nothing can be done to help them. Even God only helps those who help themselves and the first step is to wake up and see that there is a problem. The story maybe getting there but is taking too long to that is losing steam and leaving a bad taste


Tia sorry for this big gyaan

What is the gaurantee that one day sona wont find her suitcase and and all belongings outside the ishwari nivas? Why, none.

So far Dev hasn't shown any example of the strength of his commitment when it comes to his mother. But Sonakshi married him even knowing that he won't ever put their relationship before his mother's command. She took strength from the fact that since his mother agreed, there's no need to fear being abandoned again.

But she forgot that you make sure the original item is worth the commitment, not depend on the support accessories to get it going. Because situation can change and the support accessories can stop working. Then what would you do with an unreliable product?

Thank you, Sabita. I don't watch the episodes of the show anymore. But I still read the written update and make posts everyday because you guys inspire me.

You make me think other point of views, you make me feel inspired with your stories and experiences, and you make me feel absolutely honoured to be a woman who values relationship but never compromises her self-respect or give up.

I also feel compelled to make my posts because while all the young, impressionable girls are forming their ideas about a prince charming modeled after Dev Dixit, my hope is for them to at least think with their head that what they think is love, if it is worth their entire life.

I want them never to think that this is normal. It might be reality, so is domestic violence and abuse, but it's not NORMAL or RIGHT.

Today my husband shared a story posted in BBC. Turkey has made a law that if a rapist marries the victim, they can get away free from all charges. He had visited Turkey early 2000 and couldn't believe the news.

And I looked at him and said, it was an official law in Turkey just now, but it was an unofficial reality in India for many years.

He shook his head and I felt ashamed on behalf of every woman who faced and still facing injustice in 21st century and are told by other women that this is reality so they should just deal with it.

It pains me to see women think so little of themselves and have so much hate for other women that they pull them down instead of building each other up.

Isn't it more gratifying to be the wind beneath someone's wings and make them soar instead of being a storm over someone's head and crushing their soul? I hope I see in my lifetime both men and women building each other up instead of tearing each other down.

Because for a healthy society with fair and just system, you need a physically, mentally and emotionally healthy child and only a physically, mentally and emotionally healthy woman can raise him/her.
