Toxicity is bad in any form, but when it involves family members it leaves a slightly bitter taste. It can be difficult to break free from a toxic mother who uses certain expressions, but what you need to do is set some firm boundaries.
A toxic person tends to be controlling, demanding, manipulative and focuses all energy on themselves and no one else. But toxic moms in particular make you constantly feel bad about yourself and your choices.
If you still have doubts about it, here are some expressions that show whether or not your mother is toxic.
#1 “I never said that”
#2 “Why can't you get over this situation?”
#3 "You're fixated like your grandmother"
#4 “You need to grow up and face this”
#5 "It's your fault!"
#6 “Don't tell dad this…”
#7 "Why do you spend so much time with them, than with me"
#8 “You need to separate from them”
#9 “Well, no one else has a problem with this but you”
#10 "I gave you everything"
