It's been over six months since Prasenjit Karmakar, our only son and firstborn, left us suddenly, without warning, though the warning signs had been present throughout the decade of his marriage. To this day, we haven't met our only grandson and my only nephew. Legal proceedings have begun, yet uncertainty still surrounds us.
Hello, I am Shovona Karmakar, the surviving child of Mohan and Rina Karmakar. My parents began their journey as humbly as possible, navigating all the challenges life threw at them. The path we are on now with our only grandson and nephew is unprecedented and feels like a nightmare we endure daily. It’s hard to fathom how someone can be so cruel, apathetic, narcissistic, and greedy, to the point where one’s life and another’s future mean nothing. Her arrogance and greed have shocked us all, and reality has hit us hard.
The most shocking part is that this isn’t just an incident; it’s a scam! A scandal orchestrated by her family purely for financial gain. The irony is how innocent they appear on the surface, yet how deeply corrupt they are at their core. Their fear is being exposed, and they worry about how much longer they can deceive others to continue their fraudulent activities under the guise of relationships and emotional manipulation.
Prasenjit Karmakar was a victim of mental and financial abuse under the pretense of marriage.
Unreasonable hatred, relentless gatekeeping, and the urge to feel superior reflect a complex personality disorder that erodes society, much like termites reducing a healthy community to chaos. Understanding how such a personality developed is challenging, but we learned our lesson painfully. The early loss of him has left us numb.
Despite her blocking all our contact details, she claims she hasn't disappeared, which is ironic. I had higher expectations of her, but time might reveal more about what she's really up to.
Few understand how a sudden death affects a family grieving with every breath. The desire for justice and hope of meeting our only grandson and nephew keep us going. I won’t deny that I saw this coming, though not so soon and not at the cost of his life. Yes, I argued with Prasenjit, my brother, about her attitude and extreme gatekeeping, which strained our relationship. He misunderstood me until his final days when he realized who his true family was, and the person he thought was his better half was only out for personal gain, as she shamelessly admitted her interest in our family was solely for money. She’s not just unlucky; she’s shrewd, selfish, lazy, mean, insecure, and blatantly shameless. She’ll go to any lengths to get what she wants. It’s quite dramatic, honestly!
As a 36-year-old single woman, I’m content with my own company, but such incidents put life on hold. A life beyond my control, filled with uncertainty, scares me. I won’t shy away from responsibility, but the lack of friends and personal support is painful. It’s overwhelming to see my mother grieving for her firstborn, feeling empty and worthless. My father constantly seeks distractions to cope until we find answers. We’re racing against time. I often blame my parents for rushing into his marriage. I blame them for their traditional mindset and misplaced pride. I always felt deep down that "she" wasn’t right for him, that her intentions were selfish. Despite my mother’s hope that she would change, I became more certain she wouldn’t, to the point where I warned my father about asset distribution—not because I wanted it all, but because I knew how hard our parents worked to preserve it. I trusted my brother not to fight over money, but I feared she would create more barriers between Prasenjit and me. I saw it coming.
It’s not a manifestation; I just feel fear more intensely. I sense things, and though it may seem unorthodox, I can’t ignore my gut feelings, which have always protected me.
Matrimonial disputes and deaths force us to face truths we’ve avoided. They lead us to confront our deepest fears, which we try to overcome with "positive thinking." The lack of emotional support is tough, and litigation pushes people away. Finding new ways to heal and move forward is challenging, and sometimes I wonder about the point of living. Death doesn’t scare me, maybe because I watched Prasenjit pass away before my eyes. Seeing him take his last breath in our dad’s arms is a pain I can’t fully convey, as we said goodbye to someone we thought would outlive us.
It’s been 77 years since our independence, and like the economy, the core values of relationships have dramatically changed. Over generations, the meaning of belonging and seeking a true partner has shifted from emotional support to financial exploitation. Abuse is gender-neutral, and its nature has become more vicious. Matrimony is a new scam! Studying human nature is more important than ever, and understanding nuances is crucial. Intentions matter more than superficial actions. Learning to recognize green and red flags is the new understanding of good and bad. Yes, humanity is being questioned, and there’s no harm in judging others if it keeps you safe and alive.
