A 13-year-old boy claimed he no longer needed his mother to survive. His mother wrote him a tough love letter than has since gone viral.

The single mom, Estella Havisham, penned the letter to her kid who claimed he no longer needs her due to the money he's making producing videos on YouTube.

Havisham wrote the letter to her son putting it in black and white what terms he would need to agree to if he were to continue living in her house as a "roommate" instead of her son.

Havisham has since come under some serious criticism for the treatment of her child.

She has since responded in a very long letter explaining why she wrote the letter, finishing with "you have to lose it all to realize how well you really had it."
