I have been reading so many posts regarding good mother, bad mother, Ruhi would have celebrated Abhira ka pain, Abhira is being Mahaan, and wanted to say something from a personal experience point of view because these all were triggering for me.
My sister lost her baby at 6 months due to medical complications and nearly died herself. She took care of what she ate, wasnt worried about her child, was in fact enjoying the phase. I saw my sister and her husband fight for their baby, bury their baby, mourn his death, and then learn to grow out of it together, as a much stronger couple than they were going into it.
Did being carefree or not constantly worrying about her baby mean she would have been a bad mother and deserved to lose her child? Absolutely not! She is my second mother so I know the amazing mother figure she can be and will be. Ruhi worried about her child's faith and took one bad decision, but that didn't cause Abhira to lose her child, if I read right, he was already gone in womb. No matter the injection's presence. Ruhi being negative and stressed and Abhira taking care of everything she did, doesn't make either of them bad or good mothers, it makes them humans who were worrying about their respective problems and handling them the best they knew how.
As for Abhira giving her bsp, according to her, to Ruhi and saying it will call her Matashree, I am sorry but that's insensitive to a whole different level. She might love her as a her sister, but Ruhi has made it very clear that she hates Abhira for killing her mother and by association, Abhira. Having Abhira's child be the first to call her what she called her mother, is a daily reminder of what she lost, when she was a child and now. Plus, a baby is not a replacement. Ruhi has barely physically recovered, mentally and emotionally she has had no time to process her loss, mourn her loss, and giving her a baby and saying this is the replacement, is not healing her wounds, is reminding her what she has lost. My sister would have a child one day, I am sure she would love that baby to her last breath, doesn't mean she will forget her first born or treat this baby as a replacement, and their she would be saying that to her baby, not the baby of a woman she hates. What Ruhi needs is space to process herself and her loss, not be given a replacement baby, and while I know Abhira hasn't grown with family so won't have seen examples to know it, she remembers her depression when Ruhi was going to have a child and she was told she can't right? How she could be happy in front of everyone but the minute she was aside, she would cry and ask why not her? She wanted her husband to share her pain and would cry. And here because the roles are reversed, she wants Ruhi to be happy for her but not sad for herself? Ruhi calling the baby a samaan, is not wrong. She lost her child, one she grew for 9 months, she is not mentally in a place to comprehend so many things, and you can't just tell her, here, replacement baby to love.
I am not bashing anyone, Abhira, Ruhi, nobody, but yes, seeing Ruhi go through this and people saying she deserved it for being careless or stressed, or it should be bsp because Abhira took her medicines on time, or Abhira being mahaan and giving her baby and saying will call her Matashree is triggering for me because I have been the sister who watched. Sorry if anyone felt bad, but I had to get this out because I feel only for the mother. Everyone else doing whatever they think is right is annoying because nobody is worrying about what that mother wants, just own personal agendas.
