Wow. Just finished watching the street fight between Pops and Aadhya.
This woman leaves the two of you, high and dry five years ago-you don’t manage your own emotions about it and you don’t manage your child’s emotions and you don’t go to therapy to help process the trauma of a mother/wife walking out on the family.
Anuj never has actual heart-to-heart conversations with truth with his daughter… You can even see this in earlier episodes he would always just tell her to stop crying, or tell her everything is ok—-but would never actually have straightforward conversations… (even Anupama had more straightforward conversations with CA). Anuj was not good at the difficult part of parenting- he was just good at the fun part.
So it’s never been a pattern for him to be honest and have conversations with his child.
They walked away from India , and he basically never talked about it and made it seem like that he would always choose his child over his wife. That Aadhya was safe with pops. He was there for her.
And now suddenly he is yelling at the child and telling her that she has to understand his emotions- that this is her mother and she needs to respect her etc. etc. blah blah blah
it was Anuj telling Aadhya that she has to respect her mother that really pissed me off-Aadhya does not have to respect that woman who walked out on her and emotionally neglected her.
So to have the one and only person that Aadhya trusts (her pop) suddenly turn around and become super angry and shutting her down and saying she “has to be respectful”. That was just super triggering- I feel like he broke his daughter in that moment.
I feel so sad for Aadhya
