Hi Guys,
So I finally watched the epi last night. Granted it was painful and emotional, but somehow I sstuck though the whole episode.
Pranadhika comes from a well known, wealthy and influential family.
The epidode starts with a teenage Pranandika...she has a boyfriend and the guy is abusive towards her. Every small thing can make him angry ...he also tries to take liberties with her. She does not allow him that , and that makes him madder...but just like a typical abuser , he comes back to her apologizing profusely ...he tells her he gets mad easily...so she should not say and do stuff that would make him angry😲...laying the blame completely on her...Pranadhika's parents had separated when she was young for a period of 11 years and every relationship or friendship she formed there after , she was looking for qualities of her dad or a father figure. She is also under the impression that she deserves this kind of treatment from her BF and that he is trying to better her😲.
One day he tries to molest her and she pushes him away. He leaves angry ...she cannot deal with this anymore and slits her wrists😭...fortunately her mom comes there and takes her to the hospital.
The parents are clueless as to why she would try such a thing. She has all the luxury and money, so why would she even attempt suicide.
She then tells them how she was abused as a young child. When her parents separated, she lived with her Mom...an elder male relative abuses her...no one suspects anything cos they all trust him ...and at 4 she does not really understand what is going on...when she is 8 she goes to spend a weekend with her Dad...there the old trusted servant of theirs takes her to his room and abuses her...she tries telling her Dad , but then goes to her aunt , lives there ,and explains everything...the aunt gets angry and tells her maybe she did something that made the man act that way😡😲...the aunt tells the girl not to tell anyone and so she has been carrying this colossal pain inside her forever. The parents apologize to her and she breaks up with her BF.
At school she realizes that she is not the only one who has suffered child sexual abuse...soon she gathers all girls who have been through it and they decide not to be silent anymore.👏
Now she has an organisation that helps victims of child sexual abuse. She wants the parents to trust their children and listen to them...use age appropriate language to educate kids about what can happen...and to believe in the kids when they something has happened with them
She says she does not consider herself a victim anymore...she is a survivor.👏
