Can I sue my mother for defamation, physical and psychological abuse? I'm Anjali, 21 years old. I'm a daughter to a single parent, my parents divorced when i was young and dad was never in the picture. My entire childhood i was tortured in ways that are unimaginable, from consuming my own vomit to being rid of food and water. As an adult mothers behavior towards me cause me mental health to deteriorate further and she also convinced me to drop out of college saying she'd take care of me.
