Well although statement doesn't necessarily make the person toxic it may actually be true. But at the end of the day anybody can be toxic, and any gender can be toxic. If you grew up in a dysfunctional household, you going to have a lot of negative impact in your life. But on my you can distinguished the truth for yourself.
So this is not a matter of what is true and what is false. But how did the situation come about in the first place? A lot of times, women make these mistakes and then have those complaints. Sometimes it's fair, other times it's not. I have seen plenty of toxic fathers who meet all that criteria and a mother have to try to protect her child because of those things. I have also met toxic mothers who just dumped that on the child because they're bitter with the father. Whether it's true or not. I just say it like this. If the father chose not to be in their kids life, and everything that the mother says is true, he should be a man, and own up to the truth. Unless he has a good rational reason as to why she says those things, all one can do is give each person the benefit of the doubt. At that point, and that kind of scenario based on what you have in that picture, that's beyond toxic, that's psychopathic. I grew up in a home with both parents. I learned very early who was most at fault. And it wasn't my mother.
If a mother educated her children like that about their father they could end up growing with this idea about all men. It happens lots of times cause kids learn what their parents teach them and how they educate them
Toxic parents, regardless of gender, do this, though mothers seem to be especially insidious as they're expected to be more nurturing. Indeed, while I was terrified of my dad's anger growing up, my mother was the violent, gaslighting, abusive one, who seemed bent on destroying my personality in every way, in order to better instill her own distorted world views and histrionics. It's taken years of getting away from her in order to become myself.
I don't have any personal experience of this, but having made observations of certain other people, I'd agree with this statement. Toxic fathers are just as bad, too.

True, but when I hear "toxic mother" the first that comes to my mind is not trash talking about the dad, but things as comparing their kid to others and treat them like less valuable, set high standards for the kid, beign over-controlling and choosing who they can befriend, making the kid feel guilty about things that are outside the kid's control, constantly calling their own kid fat, stupid or ugly, making the kid responsible of the adult due to abuse of alcohol or drugs, etc.
When a mother does this stuff it creates great damage in the kid. Sames if a father does, but as you said, the question is about mothers.
Lmao that pic u posted is so true 😂 my mom always called my dad no good and would tell me all the bad things he did. Yet she’d encourage me to visit him and fuss at me for not wanting to go. And then she’d say to him “I don't know why she never wants to visit you.” I was never that kid who grew up wanting to visit my dad. I was perfectly happy without him. People think im crazy for wanting to do invitro and not give my kid a dad. Part of that is because i was raised well without a dad and although its a bonus, i didn't see it as a must to be raised by two parents
I was raised by both toxic mother and father. My eldest sister ended up being in an asylum and now still under mild medication. The rest of us suffered from so many disorders. It took years for us to recover. The worst part is most toxic parents are narcissists so they are not going to apologize.
Of course they do Lol there's no doubt about it. If you keep telling your children about how horrible your father is, those children will grow to emulate the same toxic behavior towards others. Quite possibly they might grow up to say toxic things about that very same mother as well.
It depends on the child.
Some children will go into therapy and process their toxic childhood and will learn skills on how to deal with toxic people. It makes them stronger.
It's the same thing as some people "go through hell" and come out stronger.
Let me clear something up. Yes most mothers are! And father's. Mom's and dads are just as full of shit as the rest of us. Where do think all these toxic jackases you have to deal with everyday come from?
In most cases children get bent, not broken by their parents. Unless you get raised by a psychopath or sociopath. And you can blame your parents all you want, it still comes down to you figuring it all out and working through it.
As with almost everything in life, it is far more complicated than that.
Any toxic parent who is involved in the rearing of a child can and usually does do harm and damage too the child.
Does that 'destroy' the child? That is going to vary for different children, and different definitions of 'destroy'.
Mother's can break or make a family.
Having two healthy adults make kids, raise them together will be best.
even mothers who care for their children are doing a terrible job raising kids
it takes 2 father and mother
mothers are ruining children
toxic parents in general do.
which is why kids need a good mother figure and good father figure.
does not have to be there biological ones however. nor does it have to be one male and one female really.
Yep I had this my whole childhood, it's disgusting behaviour
Id even expand it to any toxic family member can destroy a child.
My parents, especially my dad, should not have had children. They didn't have the patience for it. I had no childhood, and awkward times in high school and college.
I want to forgive them, but struggle to do so.
I would say yes but I am not destroyed, I think a toxic mother can definitely make a person different, but not where they are completely broken
True. Any parent or guardian who is toxic will destroy the children.
Toxic parenting doesn't destroy children, it just warps them in ways you can't imagine. I'm talking Charles Manson warped.
My mom like this and growing up I hated my father and still do.
My father use to hit me because he wanted to spend time with me. and now i hate both father and my mother.
Toxic parents in general greatly damage their children and the worst part is that they don't realize how much they destroy their kids.
Toxic people destroy children. If you seek a simple answer.
Yh my mum calls me a fat bastard almost every time I see her and I do my best but it has happened all my life off her
