He actually never asked Anupama to break all relations with her kids or even Baa and Baapuji for that matter. He himself used to accompany her on many occasions and always took care of CA/the house in her absence. He even funded that toxic family and helped them in too many situations. He asked her to draw boundaries because they were extremely toxic, he even said they make her do everything and then blame her if something goes wrong. The Baa's khichdi incident for example was heights of misplaced priorities. Many times, the children in Shah House didn't need her. They are all grown adults who are even married and no mother hand holds their kids through every single day. Her kids are entitled, spoilt and batameez to the core, they treated her SO badly, yet needed her every single minute. She gave in too much to Baa's demands and Baapuji's manipulations as well. Baa even treated CA so badly because she is an orphan, wanting Anupama to prioritise Pari over her. The problem was, there were so many adults in Shah House, but none of them could do anything on their own, they needed Anupama for EVERYTHING. Baa would give her badduas after badduas and then come begging asking her to come to their house and she would go. During Toshu's paralysis, it was understandable for Anupama to be with him yes, but many of the other instances could have easily been avoided by learning to say no and prioritising what's important. Anuj in fact wanted her to prioritise herself and for her to be happy spending time with her family who truly cared for her and didn't just use her. He didn't expect her to sit and cook and clean for them or do work for CA, he was happy to send her to school, get her ready etc. He just wanted Anupama to spend time with CA, bond with her, enjoy performing a mother daughter dance together for example. This is evidenced by him being so happy she's going to America, he would have never stopped that earlier also if she got the opportunity, in fact he might have moved with CA to the US to support her.
Anuj is 100% in the wrong now and his character is totally ruined, but doesn't mean we forget all the wrong things Anupama did or justify it, she was responsible for cracks appearing in her marriage in the first place.
