Prickly Peers
S01E08: My Mother Said...why get divorced after a love marriage?
Swagatika Priyadarshini grew up in an Indian small town (Rourkela, Odisha) with big ambitions and a bold, independent mother. Her mum, her first prickly peer, didn't let societal biases around skin tone or gender ever come in the way of Swagatika becoming the best version of herself. Things took a turn when Swagatika got herself a "boyfriend" in college. Things got more difficult when years later, she decided to get a divorce.
Can our mothers, however tenacious, truly ever escape the vicious circle of societal judgement that blames them for the decisions of their adult children. If yes, how? What's the best way for the adult child to handle "disappointing the parents"? Does time really heal everything? We discuss all this and more with our last and final guest of this season.
