'Letter to my Mum' [Video]

In this video posted by Buzzfeed, a daughter writes a letter to her mother stating her insecurities.

At the start of the clip, a girl is seen handing a letter to her mum. It begins: ‘Mama says you’re a pretty girl. “You’re my angel, my baby, my star, my world.”

"But if this is true mama, if this is fact, then why do you say such hurtful comments to me? How can you do me like that?"

The daughter then lists all the ways in which her mum’s comments undermine her self-esteem.

The video prompted comments as one person said, "My insecurities only became my insecurities when my mom pointed them out to me."

Another person said simply: "This hit me right to the heart."
