Hi people... I have just introduced myself on the other thread🙂🙃 so I 've been thinking about Minnie and HS and kind of think now that it is quite natural she is not ready to have a "father" yet... Cause she doesn't even know what that could mean. She never had one and I can't remember whether Preet or anyone else could have given her a true idea why a father is so important in one's life, esp for girls. So this relation must be one-sided by default. Maybe dome times it is more difficult if one has a label to a relation, because then expectations come with it, but could you want a relation full or mutual expectations, if you are unsure what that entails? Maybe this is a stupid assumption, but I'm kind of tired and can't convey it better 🤔🙂
You make total sense, and this is what many of us have been saying. She doesn't know what it is to have a father or that she even exclusively wants one, whether that is HS or not. For that she needs time to introspect and focus on her own needs that she brushes away. That can't happen until she stops focusing on Babita's needs all the time at the expense of her own.
HS should understand that it's not easy to be a father, in general, whether or not you share the same DNA with your child. He didn't think things through and now realizes that it's not all hunky dory. He can't leave things broken this way.
