Worried about her daughter heading to college, she secretly put a tracker on her phone \u2014 just to make sure she was safe. But what she discovered wasn\u2019t danger at all. Instead, she found out her daughter had been secretly pursuing a career in beauty and social media, and her husband knew the whole time. The shock left Serena feeling betrayed and confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of confronting them with anger, Serena decided to seek advice on how to handle the situation. Many reminded her that her daughter is now an adult and deserves the freedom to choose her own path.

To move forward, Serena focused on rebuilding trust with her daughter and husband. She chose to express curiosity rather than disappointment, asking questions about her daughter\u2019s beauty career and online following.
