A powerful video which explores the impact a mother’s words can have on her daughter has sparked thousands of comments online.
The video was created by Buzzfeed and is entitled: ‘This girl wrote a heartbreaking letter to her mum.’
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.
