i dont blame all my problems on her, but the majority of them is becuse of her, she stood by her husband at the time that was raping and molesting me on a nightly basis, walked in on it, and didnt stop him, ran out of state for him to miss his third scheduled (but missed) lie detector

any sort of depression can be tide over by faith in GOD and sincere prayer.
Your prayer is from your heart. Further You must have to understood the fact that God is present in our heart. This can be realised in meditation. Further we are the creation of our own destiny. As per Hindu sacred religion, we carry all good and bad deeds life after life. There is no end unless we pray for unification of self with the divineliness.
Hence there is always a possible way to complete mergence with God in this life by a simple and wonderful meditation

It's sad that your mother is an abusive person. But I feel that you should still continue counseling. Going through years and years of abuse, will definitely be an imprint in your life. If you happen to have children someday, your bitterness will be carried on to your children. There's going to be a time in your life when you start behaving and acting like your mother. Scary huh?!
Hiring a lawyer for your mental distress is a bit pricey for your pocketbook. But if your mother is impossible and harassing you, that is the only option you need for escape. That or reporting your mother to social services and getting information on your situation. She may have a mental disorder.
Unless you write your mother out of your life completely and severe all contacts that will solve the problem, but also note that the guilt will be in your mind for the rest of your life. Even if after your mother dies.

You would be suing her for intentional infliction of emotional distress. Be prepared to pay dearly because it is awfully hard to prove and, without some other legal claim, it will be difficult to find someone to take the case on contingency (they get paid if you get paid). If this doesn't dissuade you, try a family law attorney, but any attorney can point you in the right direction with a referral.

personal injury
but seriously why don't you get a good job AWAY from her and FORGET her before you get too OLD to enjoy Life and possibly become a bitter person forever blaming all your problems on a person who you love but doesn't have good parenting skills and can't help being that way bc she doesn't know any other way to behave. sorry for the run on sentance. good luck

Any lawyer that is on the other side of the courtroom is likely to cause mental distress....
