Today i want to reveal something which i have not shared with anyone until now.
I lost my hubby six years back. Many of my wellwishers told me to think abt remarriage. And my reply till today is that the person has to love my son more than me. Today i could relate myself to the episode because though i am quiet a open minded person and take my own decisions, but the fear of being called a bad mother has always been somewhere in my mind and has stopped me from finding my happiness. I am not ashamed today to accept this. But i do love my son more than myself. But i feel everone is scared of being judged and a single mom is scared more. Somewhere the society is responsible for this.
Thanks for sharing that with us Divya.
I can't relate to the motherly aspect of Babita since I'm not a mother, let alone a single one. But I can understand the difficulties that a single parent may have to face. Society has been created with this mindset that a child needs two parental units, most preferably a man and a woman, in order to ensure the healthy and correct upbringing of the offspring. Anything that deviates from this is a recipe for disaster. There are many people who have opposed against this system, but the truth is that no matter which corner of the world you go, this system has been established. Thus, the expectation that everyone will be open minded and sympathetic towards an alternative system should be kept quite low.
