More details to this question:
I would like to know if I have a case against my emotionally abusive mother. She constantly berates and threatens and calls me derogatory name, was detrimental to my education, and has destroyed personal property in fits of rage. She has also repeatedly threatened bodily harm to my father and myself. After enduring this for 20 years, she's reached the point where she is threatening us everyday.

sounds like you are all more in need of family counselling.  You can get a restraining order if she is that bad, but you cannot sue her for damages.
