After Rebirth, I Refuse My Best Friend’s PUA1
I once fell for my best friend's manipulation, imposing a life of frugality on Vivian, my daughter, until she reached a breaking point.
After a chance to start over, I realized my mistake.
Vivian, with a hint of fear, pointed at an expensive and exquisite dress and said, "Mom, can I just look at it?"
I responded with a generous wave of my hand, "Buy it! And get ten more like it!"

Miranda and I had been best friends for years. We went through the ups and downs of love, home-buying, and parenthood together, even though our divorces were just a year apart.
Though we weren't family by blood, we were the closest of kin.
Just a year after I gave birth to Vivian, I discovered my husband's infidelity.
So, I filed for divorce and took sole custody of Vivian.
Miranda often advised me, "You shouldn't dress children too finely or provide them with too many luxuries.
"Otherwise, they'll grow up thinking the world is a perfect place. When they finally face reality, they'll be ill-prepared for the hardships and setbacks."
