Exactly.
Let's look at it this way.
Was Harsh a bad father to Abhimanyu? No, he wanted Abhimanyu's love and acceptance so badly. He was willing to do anythibg for Abhimanyu. He had a more balanced approach of parenting than Manjari ever did. Was Harsh a bad husband/human being? He indeed was, considering he emotionally and physically abused Manjari.
What is the reason Abhimanyu decided not to have a relationship with his dad? Because he was standing by his mom. Supporting her and hated his father who treated his mom badly. So he honestly believe Harsh shouldn't get his son's love because Harsh is an abuser.
Now, Abhimanyu emotionally abused Akshara many times barring few romantic scenes lol. Literally threw her away right after her miscarriage when she is physically and emotionally at her lowest. Two divorces impulsively, never considered her feelings, like Akshu said she always had to take decisions coming under his pressure.
So, according to Abhimanyu's own theory and behaviour, he doesn't deserve Abhir's love because Abhir's father mistreated Abhir's mom numerous times.
So, according to Abhimanyu himself, he doesn't deserve Abhir.
Hence, proved that Abhir should stay with Abhinav and Akshara. đ
I remember though Harsh was abusive, there was one episode he almost was about to slap him. I don't recall the episode but for sure remember that scene. It was the worst episode from yeh rishta. Even that time Abhimanyu was glorified because people said Harsh deserved it. Yes he deserved it but not from his own son whom he loves a lot. You wrote very nicely all points. The worst thing was even Akshara called him Sirji everytime except before marriage when she wanted to bring him to party she called him papa.
Honestly both Abhimanyu and Akshara were shown very selfish in this serial. Aarohi I am not counting because she was always grey.
Abhir should definitely stay with his parents and Abhimanyu can meet him as his Docman. But no he wants him to call papa and give him that HAQQ. Then what about Abhinav. I don't like kids shown negative and being rude so one part of me don't want Abhir to do same thing what he did to harsh and continue loving him as Docman. But Abhimanyu is spoiling it again with his zidd and anger.
