A mother's coping mechanism after divorce involved making cheerful purchases despite financial struggles. She bought a Corvette to uplift her spirits, focusing on joy rather than practicality. Despite overwhelming financial issues, her approach was to spend more money when feeling financially strained. This mindset led her through numerous hardships, including nights without food and power, and filing for bankruptcy twice. The family dynamic was characterized by love and temporary happiness amidst ongoing financial difficulties.
The only financial advice I got from my mom growing up was: "If you feel like you don't have any money, the best thing to do is spend more."
She was overwhelmed, and it was definitely what she thought she should do at that moment.
We had plenty of nights without power or food. She filed for bankruptcy twice.
My mom hated the forest green Volvo she received after my dad left, but she was ecstatic about her new Corvette.
