More details to this question:
I was taken away from my birth family and placed in foster care when I was very young. At 13 I was adopted and everything was great until my adoptive parents started mentally abusing me. They would tell me to leave. When I did, they would call the law and get me for runaway. They did many other things, but they decided they didn't want me and placed me back in foster care. The judge then let me get emancipated when I was 17 to marry my husband. They caused so much stress, hurt, and totally screwed me. I was married and was still going to court over them. The emotional stress is horrible. I have major anxiety, and major trust issues. I was never like that when I was in foster care. I opened up to these people for them to be horrible to me. Is there any way I could sue? I would love to hurt them like they did me in a legal way. I am now 21 years old. Also I they had me a CD that I paid for when I got my first job, an of course they say there isn't one.

I doubt it, parents make mistakes and have a degree of "parental immunity". I know, abuse is not a mistake and they should not be allowed to get away with it, but they will likely deny everything, and you may be faced with a lack of objective evidence. Finally a lawsuit is no easy thing; there are affidavits, depositions, cross-examinations, it goes on for years and you will be constantly re-living old horrors.

Unfortunately, I think the Statute of Limitations has passed for filing a suit, if you had a viable one. If the SOL had not expired, there are many considerable hurdles for bringing such a suit. I think what you have been through is horrible and unfair. I will pray that you rise above it and find joy.
