I always believed both ashok babita handled their separation in a very wrong way with mini. Babita allowed mini to support her fine but in turn she allowed Mini to grow resentful towards her father a lot. Ashok in his anger on babita took it out upon Mini because she was supporting her mother and she was the one who used to speak from her side. The divorce was already a bad mess for mini. But even after divorce and babita moving on to better things in her life she still has hate for ashok and expects mini to hate him too. she expects mini to hate Ashok because he hurt babita. Never has she talked about how Ashok hurt mini too along with her and she wants her to stay away from him for her own good. but here it is not even about that It is about babita wanting mini to stay away from ashok because of her hate and her pain. Mature parents do not handle a divorce like this even and do not expect their children to hate the other spouse.
Exactly! I've spoken of this previously in another thread. Mini was never asked how she's doing. One psychiatrist appointment does not cure depression.
She was never shielded from the ugliness of the divorce because Ashok is an a**hole who never thought of his kid, and Babita needed shielding so Mini had to step up.
Even post that, Mini was never once spoken to about how she felt. Babita knows Mini always yearned for Ashok's gifts, surely she knew it was because they were from her father and not because they were expensive gifts etc.
Just overwhelming her with motherly affection wouldn't have filled that gap, that needed conversation and understanding, which we never saw happening.
She should've spoken about the hole that Ashok left in Mini's life even before the divorce or cheating came out in the open. Now that these feelings have festered in her mind for so long without taking a proper shape, they will remain.
She will probably never be able to heal from this pain because the memories will be distorted and she'll be second guessing herself or even resenting Babes because she was never allowed to ask Ashok to take them along as was her right.
