In the video, which released on Friday, she shared: “My kids grew up with the hotels and the jets and never having to worry about money.
“I’m their mom and their friend, but one day they’re going to see through all of it, they’re going to see the act, and they’re going to find the truth underneath.
“They’re going to discover little Alecia, who’s still hiding in here, who’s still learning how to heal, and I just hope they have the grace and the heart to accept I’m human like them.

“Then they’ll have their own kids and so the cycle continues. All of it. The multi-generational pain, but also the damn beauty of it all.”
Though she’s known for her daredevil performances and aerial showcases, including the one at the BBMAs, Pink revealed she almost stopped doing them after a bad accident.

Footage in the documentary showed a scary accident in which Pink was flung at a barricade at 30mph during a stunt where she was supposed to fly through the air and flip upside down.
She said: “I was really scared to keep doing it after that, I was shook.
“There’s no precedent for a lot of this stuff. I’m the first person doing these things. There have been many close calls. Got to get back on the horse.”
