Just take responsibility for your actions already

@hippyjoe1955 Emotional abuse or damage does not itself 'move on' ...that's the thing. Often those who were under it since a small age DID grow up, way too soon. Now it's hard to just be 'rid' of past trauma that may have been one's very existence... so I'm just saying that the phrase, 'move on' is nice but not always just black and white. I'm not sure if Don'tmindme meant this in a light, sarcastic tone, or was serious, but in my experience, moving on means 'sure it was and is all o.k.' to the abuser :/ (unless they finally said their apology or any responsibility)...

My cousin just filed an assault charge on my littlest [biggest] cousin, who smashed him right in the jaw. On several different occassions. But it had just happened. It's a bit like rape. The evidence wears off pretty fast, so prolly too late.
As for your parents, I've thought of the same thing. For me, I just take damages for pain and suffering, from them. What little they can provide. They had children on a faulty basis, never considering things could go horribly wrong. Sheer negligence, if I've ever heard of it.
You could sue. But you'd be wrongfully laughed out of court, most likely.
