Is it Bhakti or is it love?

I think it is love.

They love him like a son, or like a boyfriend.

For them, the fact that his decisions lead to their ruin does not matter.

It is allowed in love.

As long as he is doing something, they will keep finding positives in those things!

By the time you start doubting that may be he only loved himself you are already deep in it.

Then he comes and says sorry & it will make you curse yourself for ever doubting him.

Cornered, confused but still in love, the only option you have now is to go the full yard with him

Just putting some thoughts across for further discussions.
