I think you misunderstood me. I am in no way saying he should have waited for Ak. But the kid thing I don't agree with. Parents are obliged to put their kids above themselves in all situations. Even if the kid rejected him, he is still obligated to be there for him. In that he is doing everything right in my opinion.
Divorced or otherwise, parent child relationship is a different equation, something Ak never understood. But Abhi does and he also knows that what Abhir needs right now is peace and stability. Most parents wouldn't care about their own mental state in these situations and that is alright. And no kids are undeserving yaar, that is going too far.
I am not even commenting whether abhiM is doing right or wrong, it's his free will to do whatever he is doing . But it is not a duty . A lot of divorced people do prioritize their mental state over their kids, both women and men do that . What is the person supposed to do after divorce and losing custody when the kid is exclusively inclined towards the other parent and choses to live with , at the same time the favored parent doesn't let the child associate with the former. In real life people move on ( not necessarily remarry ) from such situation.
As a third person if one feels so sensitive to the equation between a particular father son , can it be imagined how the person himself feels when he has to let go of the child to another parent due to being bound by circumstances.
Being a parent doesn't exempt one from being a human , and it's absolutely fine to prioritize ownself over everything, when nobody else cares. Divorced person who loses custody of the child already has enough trauma to go through . They don't need to be held responsible for taking care of the child when the child willfully dissociated from the person.
Even anupama prioritizes her ownself sometimes .
