A public apology from a besotted mother
Malini has a lot of regrets about her parenting - but her daughter Raji remembers things differently.
Malini has a lot of regrets about her parenting - but her daughter Raji remembers things differently.
Malini raised her family in a big multigenerational household in India, with relatives coming and going and little privacy for anyone. She and her mother-in-law were both strong personalities, and sometimes her daughter was caught in the crossfire.
Malini writes a letter to Raji about her regrets over the past. Was she too strict? Was she too possessive? Did Raji decide to move away to get away from the civil war at home?
But Raji responds with a letter of her own.
Letter writers: Malini and Raji
