I would really like to know what you guys think,
If Anupama and Anuj had their own child instead of an adopted one, what do you all think, she would have done the same things she did, would have treated the biological child same way she did to CA and at last would’ve abandoned them and left like this?
If the answer is No, we all know why she differentiated between CA and rest of her kids or between CA Anuj and rest of the Shah family.
This has nothing to do with adoptive children per se. Aisa kahna ki CA ke saath jo hua hai wo adoptive parents ke karan hua hai. Adoptive children ke sath issues ek alag broad area hai, jis par alag se depth me baat honi chahiye.
Is show me jaisa dikhaya gya hai, aisa sab kuch sage bachho ke saath khoob hota hai.
Pakhi ka character kahi ka eent aur kahi ka roda types hai.
Generally jin gharo me Anupamaa jaisi doormat aurate aur Vanraj jaise controlling aur abusive mard hote hain, us gharo ki betiyaan Dolly aur Pakhi jaisi nahi hoti. Wo to jabardasti Anupamaa ko ultimate victim aur Vanraj ko achha pita/Bhai dikhane ke liye create kiye gaye characters hain.
Yaha forums par kai women aise faltu claim karke chali jati hain ki sari takleef wives ko kyon sahni padti hai? Jabki reality to ye hai ki wives ke sath ensaan ho ya na ho (jo ek alag mudda hai, kyonki yaha justice to hardly kisi ko milta hai) lekin uske saath abuse ka social recognition hai. In-laws aur husband ke against baat kahi ja sakti hai aur log is par yakeen bhi karte hain. Chahe wo kitna bhi mild form of abuse kyo na ho (ye mai defence ke liye nahi kah rhi)
Lekin jab fathers/brothers ghar ki bacchiyo ko abuse karte hain to use unka pyar mana jata hai, us par baat nahi ki ja sakti. I mean kisi se bhi nahi. Honor/prestige ki to baat hoti hi hai. Saath hi therapists/so called broadminded log bhi unke sath ho rahe abuse ko justify karte hain kyonki wo apni soch ka projection karke reality ko deny karne ki puri koshish karte hain.
Isliye... Anupamaa ne jo CA ke sath kiya.. waisa to generation by generation kai women apni betiyo (sabhi betiyo ke saath nahi) ke saath karti aai hain.
Ghar ke kisi ek bachhe ko (usually girl child) scapegoat bana diya jata hai, jahan us bachhe par Maa ki unavailability aur Baap/Bhai ki violent tendencies ke saath adjust krne aur unke emotions ke hisab se khud ko regulate karne ka bahut high pressure hota hai.
I am one such woman. I have lived this reality throughout my life.
Mothers neglect one of her girl child who is sensitive, accomodating and who feels the pain of her mother. What starts as empathizing with mother's loss of autonomy, her story of abuse/injustices, soon it gets transformed into a never ending cycle of neglect and abuse by her own mother.
These mothers would gladly give their times to neighbours/distant relatives/TV serials but they would hardly find even one minute to look at her daughter's face.
My mother used to care for my elder sister, my two brothers and for other family members. But she used to forget even buying essential clothing items for me (ex: underwears, warm clothes, shoes). She would encourage me to endure everything and would shut me up instantly whenever I tried to talk about her negligence.
She made me so shy and reserved that I couldn't ask her for to buy sanitary pads for me. Women were not allowed to buy things for themselves, their movements were stricted except my elder sister. Even with the regressive norms, she had permission to ride bikes and was pampered with everything. Elder sister never shared her things with me and my mother taught me to obey her unconditionally.
My cousins too were neglected by their mothers. Now, I am a psychologist with social work background I worked with women coming from different backgrounds having similar stories of neglect and abuse by their parents, especially mothers.
People who are lucky enough to recieved mother's care throughout their lives won't be able to understand the trauma of such children.
More often than not these mothers experienced the same with their own mothers. But they don't repeat the cycle of abuse with everyone.
Even in this show, CA was very accomodating, kind and sensitive beyond her age.
