Many people often desire to have a son in their life. Son's are often seen as the primary carriers of the family name and legacy, continuing the family line through expectation. They were loved most in the family, and their parent feel proud to have them in life. But such a desire a d love for a son could be fatal in life. People get blinded with their presence and sometime they loved them blindly, and their mistakes were always ignored. But is it a fair treatment? Not to count their mistake and always try to protect them from the society for their wrong doing. How far one will go to hide the mistakes and make them secure?

We all knew the story of Mahabharatha. While many considered it as a battle for kingdom, the primary reason always been ignored.
The Mahabharatha is ancient Indian epic poem that is a source of knowledge and a primary influence on Hinduism. It is a story of the Bharata dynasty and the great descendents of Bharata. The Mahabharata explains dharma, or codes of conduct, for kings, warriors, and individuals. The Mahabharata shows the full range of human emotions, including deceit, interpersonal relationships, and family bonds.
The Mahabharata war was fought between the Kauravas and the Pandavas for the throne of Hastinapura. The war was the result of a dynastic struggle between two groups of cousins. However, if we do a deep research then the situation could not be so worse, as it happened. In my opinion and as I read somewhere, the Mahabharatha was the result of blind love of Dhitrastra (kauravas parent) towards their son.
Dhritarashtra is considered responsible for the Mahabharata war because, despite being the king, he failed to effectively guide his eldest son Duryodhana, allowing his malicious actions and plots against the Pandavas to escalate, ultimately leading to the devastating war at Kurukshetra. His inability to stand against Duryodhana's injustices, despite advice from wise counselors like Vidura, is seen as a major contributing factor to the conflict.
Despite knowing his eldest son's flaws, Dhritarashtra often sided with him, further fueling Duryodhana's sense of entitlement. Dhritarashtra often failed to take decisive action against Duryodhana's schemes, allowing them to progress unchecked. As a result, the hatedness between Pandavas and Kauravas kept on increasing resulting a battle for kingdom.
This is very normal to have parent love towards their kids. But loving them excessively and kept ignoring their mistakes is quite dangerous. Kids finding their parent support often get too secure to cross any limit. They are sure that whatever situation arise their parent will took up the challenge. This may lead them to take wrong steps in life. The kids may get into cheating , deceit, or other unscuplous activity and even rurn violent. These kids turns into a great manipulators through lying. They manipulate things and situation in their favour which make their parents not to blame them. These parent shield them for safety and security.
Recently, I have seen one such situation, and really feeling pity for the old chap, who easily get manipulated by their kids. Or may be the excessive love of the kids did not allow the old parents to look into the matter. They are ignoring the misdeeds and blaming others for the act. Knowing all this, it really scares me. The kids seems to know how to fool their parent by lying. The parents are now up against the society to take up the challenge. They are not physically active to be strong but having a shrude and cunning mind to back which allow them to tackle the situationn. They get blinded, quite possesive and is not ready to look at the misdeeds of their son. The son on the other hand feeling proud of their act and living life happily. There is no regret and no guilt making the situation too worse.
In my opinion, son's love is good upto a certain point. But ignoring and fuelling their misdeeds is not good to the Society neither for them. As people says, truth does not remain hided for long. The truth will comes out and that day may be the parent feel shame. But who knows, regret and guilt and shame does not exits for these dhitratsra in todays time.
In good faith - Peace!!

It is truly unacceptable bias when some parents give absolute protection to their children even when they make grave mistakes.
I agree with your reflection, I have seen many children abuse their parents, manipulate them, take advantage of situations and many other things.
I gotta read mahabharat again. Kabhi bachpan mein read kiya tha. Its a very complex but grounded story about the humans, their tendencies and their good, bad and ugly aspects.
As for Dad and son relationship. I agree with you many are blinded and letting their son walk the path that's not correct.
