    Can an Adult Sue Her Parent for Emotional Cruelty
    My question involves civil rights in the State of: California.

    My mother is trying to put me out once again over something extremely petty. Let's start from the beginning. I grew up without a Dad (due to him sexually assaulting me multiple times as a infant/toddler) and a mother who didn't have much guidance. She felt like verbal and physical abuse was a natural thing and the answer to all her problems when it came to her children. Now I wouldn't disagree at all if it was due to me doing something I knew was wrong. Okay I'll take that ass whooping. Being that I acted out mostly just for attention I would think a parent would be concerned about the well being of their child's phyci. Let's skip too when I was a teen. I felt so unloved to the point where I tried to commit suicide.

    I took over 50 pills of random stuff and prayed the pain would stop. I was in such a slump I wouldn't bathe, clean my room, go outside, she use to call me foul names and tell my friends I was dirty and I stunk. I completely zoned out of life as a teen. My best friend became the telephone. It was my window after the door had closed. I would meet people and gain true friendships until my mother decided I was on it too much and she would confiscated it. Well one day I decided to fight back, so she premeditated busting my head with a metal object. my defense was to throw my hands up, but I was a bit too late. Blood just running from my face my only thought was to run and scream for help, so I did. My mother was arrested and later released due to the fact that I was physically bigger then her in size. All charges dropped just like that. I hated life honestly till now. I still hate life. I still am verbally and physically abused by my mother. To the point where I fear her coming home on her work days. I don't do anything or go anywhere.

    I feel worthless most days due to her voice repeating in my head that I will never amount to anything due to not having a career before 25. She constantly calls me fat bitches and even told my 13 year old nephew I was a street walker. Til the point where he lost all respect for me. She is a master manipulator. Every time she has one of her episodes where she wants to verbally attack me. I run to my room and lock myself in and she don't care if it a 6 year old child she will talk bad about me to them loud enough for me to hear. Her friends all know my busniess even my medical history which she sneaks into (then she has the nerve to curse me out when they look down on her for having such a daughter. I walk on egg shells everyday and I'm exhausted.

    I had moved out in 2015 and was so relieved of stress I lost 40 pounds in 2 months! Not even trying. I was just a happier person all around and I sacrificed my happiness to move back into my mothers home to help her out with her home and my nephew who was living with her at the time. In which she caught a child protection case over. ( she is considered a child abuser now on court documents). She blames me for that too of course. She calls the police on me and lies saying she fears for her life when she is usually the aggressor (I have video proof). She then lies and tells them I am schitzo which is a lie or I'm bipolar which is a lie just to get me forced out the house she asked me to be in and forced me to give up my place for.

    I suffer from anxiety, insomnia, and PTSD. Due to the rough hand I was dealt. I am on anxiety medication and medicine to help me sleep. Nothing else has been or has ever been prescribed to me by a doctor, other then depression medicine which I no longer take. I had to practically raise myself to be a woman. All she has ever done was buy me meaningless things and abuse me. She never taught me about sex and STDs, she barely taught me how to apply a pad for that time otm. I am now a grown woman who is tired and wants to seek legal action cause this can't be legal. She goes to the court building and lies and says she fears me to get these temporary restraining orders to try and scare me away.

    Its almost winter in about 4 weeks give or take and she is trying to put me out once again to sleep on the streets. I am physically disabled as well as the phycological damage and there are currently no shelters in my area to flee to, so I'll be sleeping in my car like last time where my body would swell up and hurt me daily. Can I sue her for pain and suffering and make her pay the fees to relocate me due to her forcing me to give up my own place?

    Move back out. Stop having anything to do with your mother. Problem solved.

    If you choose to live with your mother, you are choosing to be unhappy. Make better choices.

    Theoretically you can sue anyone for anything. The question is whether you would win. The answer is no.

    At your age, she has no obligation to shelter you. Glad you are angry enough to want to take action. Channel that energy to get a job and move out. The best revenge is a life well lived.
