What makes a mother

Mother is not a title, but an action. Caring, supporting, loving, this makes a mother. A mother does not have to be blood, just as a blood mother does not automatically earn and keep that title forevermore. When a person becomes so outrightly toxic to their own children, when their behavior is more childlike than their own children, when their actions would not be tolerated by a complete stranger, that person has lost the title, the rights to use that title, the ability to weaponize that title. They are deposed by their own actions and their children bear no guilt.
