Kids whose parents have been separated do have unresolved issues a lot of times.
But kids that are actually kids. I can no longer call toshu a kid now. Paritosh is not a child or boy now. He is a man. He is married and will start planning his family soon and if he still cannot move forward the unresolved issues that shouldnt have even affected him in the first place then he has no one but himself to blame.
He was not vulnerable when he found his father cheating on his mother. He wanted to escape the tough reality that his father is not and never was i love with his mother and that there is a possibility of divorce between his parents.
Paritosh needed to have an emotional attachment to BOTH his parents to be mentally unprepared for their divorce. Paritosh jas NEVER been shown as particularly close to anupama. Like father like son. He has spent almost entire life calling anupama names and telling her she is a loser and still getting work out of her as if she was a maid in the house and not his mother.
If paritosh hadnt said anything to kavya or vanraj when he found about then with what right is he telling his mother or anuj to maintain distance or whatever.
Any normal child would have reacted in the way samar did. He would have shouted at his father and started hating him because HE is the reason their family is breaking apart. Paritosh and pakhi simply wanted anupama to forget everything and get back together with vanraj and go back into the same old routine. Being taunted and abused and still working for everyone like a maid.
Soo children of separated parents? Why did they not think of shifting with their mothers when it was obvious that she has just survived cancer and needs all the help she can get?
Why was it easy to be upset that their mother is leaving but not actually do something about it?
Because they never were really bothered about their mother. They were bothered about their maid. A person will always be upset if a good househelp leaves the home. I know my mother still grieves over the fact that we had to shift and in our new home none of the maids work as well as our previous one did and it has been 3 yrs.
Even pakhi had no qualms introducing kavya as her stepmom to her friends. The girl who felt ashamed of introducing her mother was okay with introducing her stepmother.
For paritosh everything is about his twisted sense of entitlement over his mother. He like his father absolutely thinks that his mother is some kind of slave bonded to the family. He cannot fathom the idea of his mother leaving their house and being happily settled elsewhere when he cannot. Because in his eyes she was always inferior than him. I am 100% he would have had no problems with a friend that wasnt rich. A friend that came from a place of financial struggle. Someone he could have looked down upon and felt satisfied that he was better than both the friend and anupama. But here is the problem. He KNOWS he is no match to anuj which is why the intense reactions.
Toshu was fine with anupama and advait's friendship you see? Advait was actually involved in a few family matters too and it was only baa who said ki baharwale kuch na bole iss baare me.
Soo it is just toshu's need to keep reasserting in his mind that the first years of his life werent all a lie. That his mother is not inferior than him. That he cannot even match upto her. Hence the lashing out. I can only feel pity for him and the immense urge to slap the living sh*t out of him.
