Can I sue my parents and if so, what can I sue them for?

As far as parents go, you got screwed. I feel sorry for you. However, NOW you are a grown up. Get help and fix yourself. Your parents are a lost cause. Prove to yourself that you are a better person than either of them, and go on and make a happy and fulfilling life for yourself. Children do NOT come with an instruction manual. Most parents do the best that they can. Some parents are so badly damaged by their own parents that they have no clue what they are causing their own children to suffer. Many parents should NOT have become parents, but sex is a natural drive, while child rearing is not. If you were smart enough to contact this website to seek answers, then you are smart enough to do what needs to be done. Good luck, and as they used to tell sailors going to sea in wooden ships "God Speed."

We get this type of question from time to time and unfortunately, I don't see a cause of action that has been recognized by our courts. Maybe someone else has. Get the hell out of there ASAP and don't look back.

Obviously there is a great deal of history here, but only in the most severe in exceptional cases would you be able to sue your parents. That does not mean that the has not occurred in your case but generally, at age 19, your best option is to undertake whatever is necessary to be able to leave the house as you are an adult. If you desire you can certainly counsel with an attorney to determine whether or not a cause of action might exist.

I don't know about suing, but you are over 18 and can leave. My problem with the lawsuit is that they may have had good reason for the way they acted. Were you abusing drugs? Have you destroyed their property? If you can't live with them, the answer is to leave and don't look back.
