My question involves civil rights in the State of: Pennsylvania
I grew up being denied access to my father. My mother was one of those woman who didn't want him around me because he didn't want to be with her. I was abandoned on my fathers doorstep with my stepmother to take care of me so my mother could go party and have fun with her friends.I was left there at the age of about 2 for as I've been told about a year. My mother has told me that was for her to go to rehab but my mothers family has told me she was lying.
My mother has been an alcoholic my entire life and has made bad choices without thinking of the welfare of her children. For the flowing years after my mother got me back from my father until about 7 years old there had been multiple men in and out of my life. My mother had moved in with one and he kicked us out on the streets. We ended up living on a pull out couch in my aunts basement for year until about 8 years old. At my aunts house my cousin was sexually assaulting me with my mothers knowledge. He continued to assault me from the ages of 6-9 years old. At the age of 8 my mother had gotten a new boyfriend and moved a block from my aunts house. My cousin continued to ride his bike over and assault me. My mother knew it was happening and didn't do anything to keep her relationship with her sister.
I moved two hours away at the end of the school year when I was 9. In my 4th grade year I was hospitalized for the first time. I remember being told I had a doctors appointment and being pulled from school. I was left there at the doctor being held back screaming for my mother saying I was sorry and having no idea what I was sorry for. I got out and was continually emotionally abused by my mother. She would say things about my appearance and intelligence. I was hospitalized multiple times as a child into adulthood. In my many hospitalizations I was diagnosed with PTSD, manic bipolar depression, borderline personality disorder and a severe anxiety disorder. My mother signed me out of high school at 17 and would not let me go back. I have been isolated and made solely dependent on my mother. I was made to get a job and pay my own bills but was never told my info for anything involving that.
I would hand cash to my mother or step father and they would get online to my car insurance or ect and pay it from their own bank account. I have no bank account or any idea on writing checks or anything. At the age of 18 my mother kicked me out with no money, no bank account, and nowhere to go because she couldn't handle my emotions from my diagnosis. I have continued to be pulled in and out of her house. I understand that I'm an adult and can make my own choices but she knows that its a place to sleep and I have no idea on how to face the world. I have no life skills and at 20 years old am still homeless. I was living in Illinois from November to the middle of December and found out I was pregnant.
I told my boyfriend and he kicked me out. My mother was informed of my pregnancy and let me move back in. After 3 weeks of living with my mother and letting her continue to isolate me from the world. I left. I am now pregnant and homeless at 20 years old with no life skills and no education. My mother harasses me on Facebook and makes snide posts about me. I have tried to let the past be the past but the fact I have cut her out of her grandchild life has made her seem angry and vengeful. She makes post about feeling sorry for her unborn grandchild and how I'm going to be a horrible mother. I am trying to do right by my child but even as an adult my mother harasses me and follows me. I have cut all contact with my mother and made friends before in the past and she would have strangers look on my Facebook to follow me and tell her my every move.
She has messaged past friends that want no contact with me because my mother tells them Im a bad person and don't need to be around them. I'm just wondering if because of all of this I would be able to sue her for childhood abuse, pain and suffering, and harassment? I'm trying to get a PFA and a no contact order. I just want her to realize that I'm an adult and won't be involved in her petty drama. I'm trying to do right by my child. I'm getting enrolled in life skill classes and talking to homeless shelters that are trying to get me housing and food and so forth. While living with my mother she would let me take her car to job interviews and be mad when I got a job and wouldn't let me use her car for my job. I have tried but this woman follows me everywhere I go.
