Yeah. The issue is not Aarav having anger problems. Anyone would be sympathetic towards his struggles with mental health after what happened. He may not know everything but he did witness the devastation it caused. His grandfather is no more, his grandmother has relocated, his mother was hurt and somehow Robin was responsible. You can understand the anger, the resentment and even hatred, compounded by the fact that Katha has explained absolutely nothing to him to help him rationalise his feelings.
My problem is with how they're addressing his issues. Most of the time he is a normal kid, then you get one random bout of violence that seems more like a tantrum than anything else, and that gets Katha unnecessary panicky calling the doctor in a jiffy like he has some magical power. Why give some outsider, a doctor, so much control over your own child. Therapy takes time and progress is neither quantifiable nor linear. Sometimes you progress, sometimes you regress, some issues take time, some are easily resolved. Marrying your child's psychologist in panic in 6 months, thinking it'll solve your issues, is one of the most laughable excuses for third-angle entry itv has come up with.
Honestly it's not even Aarav's fault much. In none of the flashbacks till now has he been shown asking Katha to marry that guy. He may be the catalyst but it's all Katha's decision. She's the adult here, and it's her responsibility to decide for them both. Who would blame a kid for this? No responsible adult, especially not Viaan. Like he blackmailed his mother or something. You're saying you did it for Aarav? It's just an excuse, and frankly not a very convincing one.
