Soo true to everything you just said.
I just had a long conversation with LL regarding this. Would love to get your thoughts on that as well.
I also have a similar experience, where people have called me names that would make people shudder. But you cannot classify that as abuse, as many times you need to see the larger picture.
Agar Imlie would leave every time someone said something to her, she would be no better than Malini, jo har baat par maike chali jaati thi. And she can never be like the neighbourhood FL to shout at her in-laws just because she does not agree with them. She has better class and knows when to stay silent and when to speak her piece to ensure that samnewala gets her point.
All those who assume she is a doormat, she is not. She just prefers to choose her battles.
