I never heard a news story or anything about someone suing his/her parents because of abuse. I have heard lots of stories about parents being arrested & facing criminal charges for it thou even if the abuse has occurred years ago & the kid has grown up.
Yes...legions of child actors sue their parents for business reasons ( I believe Leann Rimes the current country singer ended up doing that), but I havent heard of anyone suing their parents for abuse, or malfeasance in bringing them up.
If your parents did things to you that were actually illegal, and there were actual police records , or hospital records, or the like, then you might have a slender leg to stand on. But if you're suing them for verbal and emotional abuse (real and damaging as it may have been) but they never laid a hand you I dont think it would get any traction. But Im not a lawyer, so thats just a guess.
