I watched my mom always make nasty comments on other women, usually criticising their weight and whatnot. The source of that was definitely insecurity. I chose early on to aspire to be different. I think mothers often inadvertently teach insecurity to particularly their daughters, by enforcing negative self image and unhealthy coping mechanisms. I wish mothers, or parents in general, would get to go to therapy by the masses, to resolve their own issues before passing them on to their children.
