Is it wrong for a single mom to have another man in her life - to date or even marry? But that’s exactly the impression Katha has given this impressionable child! It reflects her own mindset that she should never again date/marry a man. How archaic! How itv!
This line had been treated lightly in this show, almost like a joke but it is toxic in its own way, feeding a conservative mindset that a single mum has no business thinking about a man, she must single-mindedly devote her life to her child. This line does not go with the progressive characterisation of Katha. She neednt or seek out a man, but surely she can’t believe it is wrong for someone like her to be with one?!
It is indeed a toxic sentence “
“You are & will be only the man in life “ As if being single Mom means , they can’t marry and move on
Most of the single Mom’s or Moms in general feel that they are left behind , if not they themselves with their over attachments to sons will create problems !
How much we love our children also ( I am a Mom) they are not a part of out body .nor do extension of self !
They come to the world through parents , children will have a life of their own
Still can share close bond if nothing turns toxic !
The sentence “ paves the way for future disasters “
