Neither is being done here. Both the dad and his fiancée are hell bent on achieving their own personal agenda. A scolding here from Anuj, an excuse there from Shrew, is not cutting it.
It takes years for trauma patients to reach that level. You cannot just randomly introduce the trauma into her life and ask her to cope. She is seeing the same pattern, her dad bringing the woman 100% into their life, she being forced and dragged to shahs.
That's the worst thing you can do. Conditioning and learning to live is done with therapy over years and the trauma is never reintroduced like this but only after the doctor thinks the patient is ready, and in controlled environment.
Anyone has the right to choose never to meet or interact with someone, no one should force them. Even parents should never force kids to be with someone they don't want to.
Avoiding someone who abandoned you and neglected you is a normal thing, not abnormal. And no one needs to learn to live with such a person, you can 100% avoid this person of your dad is not selfish like Anuj.
