If we want to get logical than child abuse also exists. Lying to a child about their identity is psychological and emotional abuse. In my field, I have read many studies (mostly on adopted children) that are lied to about their paternity suffering life-long anger, abandonment and attachment issues. Here, he isn't even adopted his birth mother lied to him to fill up photo frames for a man she met on the bus. So, she kept him away from a "toxic" environment to give him life-long trauma and identity crisis at the age of six lol. I'm pretty sure forging a birth certificate is also a crime, but it's ok to commit crimes if you are a mother and your husband is poor.
She didn't talk to him. She told him what to think and how to feel about the situation. Her response was to ask if he didn't like his fake papa. What kid would say no to that? Then she proceeded to ask him why is he thinking about others. That's textbook gaslighting lol. She didn't ask how he felt. If he was sad? Or angry? Or worried? She still doesn't even recognize his frustrations or give him an outlet to express himself. That was Abhi. She invalidated his feelings then made him guilty for thinking about his real father. He agreed to her request then what happened? He stopped his quest for his real father momentary then started again. He wants to grow up faster so he can find about his real dad. Does she care or even notice? No. He is praying to God because she is hopeless lol.
He might hate him. Who knows? Personally, I hope the makers go with this route. A father winning back his son's love is a million times more interesting the situational poverty and child abuse being disguised as a "happy" family. We'll see I guess.
Hi Yellomellow,
@bold This is not Abuse. If it was Abhi who has done all this then only it will be called emotional abuse. 🫡
