Mom’s Lavish Gifts Stir Up Drama : Is She Buying Her Daughter’s Love?

When a young woman gave birth to her daughter, Farrah, at 18, she made the tough decision to let the father, Dave, have full custody. This allowed her to focus on her education and eventually build a successful business. However, she later realized that her decision left her feeling empty and depressed. After inheriting a fortune from her late father, she decided to reconnect with her daughter, hoping to find happiness. But when she starts showering her daughter with expensive gifts, drama unfolds. Is she genuinely trying to make up for lost time, or is she using her wealth to manipulate her daughter’s love?
