In life we need BOTH attachments and separations as it pertains to our relationships. That is Life plain and simple
To evolve into a mature and developed adult who is able to give and receive love, you have to master both attaching to and separating from people you love.
As a mother though I am attached emotionally to my child I also need to let my child have separate relationships outside of mine, Like letting him' or her have a separate relationship with his or her father, letting him' or her have separate relationships with friends and other people beyond the family, and ultimately, have a separate Love relationship with his or her partner
Possessiveness is basically a form of personalized control.' Short and simple, the un verbalized feeling is "you're mine and nobody else's, I don't care how old you get." The possessive mother is thinking only of her own needs for continued attachment to her child, now in adulthood and in my opinion that is where Easwari stands even today. Along with it is her regressive thinking of Daughters in Law as opposed to Sons.
Also in this show it almost felt like the adult became the child and the child the parent .In essence there was a role reversal and in psychology it is called' parentifield'. Here Dev was the parent and Easwari the child and he dedicated his life in seasoin 1 to putting her needs before his Dev 1.0 also thought I cant get what I want from my mother now but I am hopeful that some day she will realize what I want and give me what makes me happy eventually and we all know what happened to that in the story
Possessiveness thinly disguises a discomfort, maybe fear, of no longer being needed. So in essence it always becomes about her needs the focus is not the child but the parent like how could you ignore your mother?. How could you not understand ? Even non possessive mothers do it..but they dont do it with ill intentions here Easwari intentions has ill intentions.
But sooner than later the child has to realize just like the mother that his needs and wants are seperate from hers and needs to to decide what he or she wants and be strong enough to pursue what makes them happy
The good news here is looks like Dev 2.0 has woken up and is not waiting for his mother to give him what he wants but it remains to be seen whether he is strong to get what he wants or needs
After all Life is all about attachments and Seperations.. Isnt it what our scriptures teach have an detached attachment easier said than done of course😆
Become detached from your ego, become detached from your possessions. Become simply detached from every possible source of attachment.
