A mother of five children, who was mocked by three young individuals at the beach because of her physical condition, addressed them an open letter.

“This is an open letter addressed to the two boys and the girl who decided to skip work today and come to the beach to relax in the sun, enjoy the water, and have a few beers.

I’m sorry that my first attempt in the past 13 years to sunbathe in a bikini in public disgusted you. I’m sorry that my stomach is not flat and tight enough. I’m sorry that my abdomen is covered in scars.

I do not apologize for my body, which has housed, protected, given birth to, and raised FIVE fabulous, healthy, intelligent, and wonderful human beings.

I want you to know that I held my head high while you made fun of me, pretending that your words didn’t affect me, but I cried in the car on the way home. Thank you for ruining my day. People like you make this world an ugly place.

I can’t help but feel sorry for the women who will one day carry your children and become repulsive in your eyes as their bodies change during the miraculous process of pregnancy. I can only hope that one day you will realize that my scars are things to be proud of, not ashamed.”

Her message garnered over a million likes and was shared over 200,000 times, according to wfla.com.

The woman posted her picture at the beach on Facebook.
