    Default Mother Threatening to Call CPS and Falsely Accuse Me of Abuse if I Move Out

    I will be moving out of my mothers house to start my own family with my daughter and my boyfriend (not her biological father) in a few months. Everytime I tell her about a really nice apartment we just looked at she turns into and satan and starts saying that as soon as we leave she is going to contact CPS and tell them that we are abusing my daughter. She has been saying this to me since I gave birth to my child and me being the naive 20 yr old I was back then I was scared that my daughter wou.d get taken from me. I have never abused my little girl and never will she is 4 now and aside from a little smack on the hands or a shout here and there I have never laid a finger on her. While I was growing up my mother was very abusive both verbally and phsycally and I swore to myself I would never be like her. Sorry I'm dragging on like this. My question is that when I move out and if she does end up calling CPS with false accusations can I sue her for defamation or slander? And is a restraining order a good idea after I move out just in case she gets the crazy idea of trying to take my daughter away herself (she capable of anything)??

    Please help!!
    I haven't left her house already because I have nowhere else to stay with my daughter

    Ignore her. She's bullying you.

    No, you generally cannot sue for false reporting unless you can prove that it was knowingly false.

    You've got to stand up for yourself, Mom. Here's the thing.

    If you were neglectful or abusive, and she waits until you leave before she makes a report, that makes her more or less equally culpable for allowing it to take place. She's completely blowing smoke, Mom.

    Be strong. Set your boundaries, and hold your ground. Is there a parent support group you can maybe join? Even online groups can help you.

    My advice is to find a way to get out of your mother's house NOW.
