Defamation of Character.

Anyone knows if there is anything you can do legaly about a "sister" who is dfaming your character to the point of NOT allowing other family members to help you when you need help and thratening them by saying if anyone helps me she will stop talking and helping my schizophrnic mother meaning she will leave her on the street.


This woman that was abusive with me my whole life even driving me to attempt suicide at 17 and she was going to let me die and not tell a soul.She was an adult and i was in her custody.


A few years back after getting car-jacked almost murder i stayed at her house in whcich her husband came on to me. i of course DID not do anything with her disgusting husband but i did tell her he came on to me. She threw me out and told me to never agian talk to her in her life. She threw my brith certificate and my passport i had left in her house. At the time i did not have my mother's phone number and she refused to give it to me. I could not get in touch with my mother for 5 years.


I am diagnose with major therapy resistant depression and PTSD. The other family members who were also very abusive as a child want to help a little, but she has them threatened that IF they help me in any way she will not talk or help my mother ever again.


So they are not helping me. I am in a very bad situation. It woul help IF i could live with my mother for a while. But she has threaten not to help my mother, since she helps with money for my mother's apt the other siblings hands are tied. Beacuse they need her money too.


Can i open up a case against her for defamation of character? i do not have any history of any kind as to violence, drugs, alcohol NOTHING. She is affecting my life and my options to have anyone help me. I need the help.

Sorry for all the typos I am not feeling well. I am in a very bad situation and I have NO kind of help or support of any kind at all. I am very stressed plus the untreated PTSD and clinical depression doesn't help.

perhaps a websearch for social services, 211+ state will be a starting point to get the help you need. http://www.211.org/

I am not the kind of person to ask for social services or be in the system I inquire about it is not for me. Thanks. I want justice. This woman has affected my whole life since I am a child enough! I was close to death 3x and she new about it she was going to let me die without telling anyone. She was just going to say "I don't know what happened to her, she left.." and take it to her grave. We are talking pure evil.

I was reading the assessment 3 doctors have written about me. One was the State doc in the state I used to live. the 3 of them CONTRDICT everything she goes around saying about me. So I can prove she is lying by all means without a shadow of doubt I have a clean record. Nothing she says about me is true, at all and there is proof written by professionals, cops can run a background check, ect....It is a case of defamation of character and there is damages. Serious ones. My only dx too are PTSD and Major Clinical depression and GAD.

It will come down to is she lying or is her opinion hurtful to you legally

So if she said something like you're doing illegal drugs or spreading communicable diseases when that isn't true you could probably sue and win

However if she's giving people an option that if you move in with your mom then she will no longer pay bills that's up to her.... It's her money to do with what she wants

I'm sorry that she's hurting you.... Why don't you want any help from the system if you need it kaisad?

Several reason I have never been helped by ANY psychologist or psychiatrist or meds. I help myself with diet and exercise and my life style and I method I use which I developed for tolerating the symptoms.
I do not like people meddling in my affairs.

I also was not born in US I am only a legal resident so technically is not my country. My father did serve in WW2 and my Grandfather did also served as an American vice-consul but although it is my country and culture and home. Politically is not.
I have a weird background because I am American by culture but not by birth.

kaisad, my family may not be as evil as yours, but it's pretty evil. My father was a pastor who got apparently caught in some kind of fraud by his church board and was kicked out of it. It was a mega church in South America. His mission board kicked him out, too, and the police put him in a police car, drove him to the airport, put him on a plane, and deported him telling him never to come back.

I'd never spoken to him for 8 years before that happened because it wasn't the first time he'd been involved in shenanigans. Believe it or not, though, he blamed me, saying the whole scandal happened because I snitched on him. I didn't. I didn't even know the scandal happened until 2 years later because, like I said, we weren't in touch.

My sister hangs around him, though, all the time. She herself told me she does it for the money. While she hangs around him sucking up to him for money, she feeds him and all who will listen all kinds of lies about me.

I just have nothing to do with them nor with the family members who fall for their stories. If they can't see through it all after the scandal, after a church board had enough, after their missions board had enough, and after police overseas had enough, it's on them for being that gullible.

I'll never get any justice for how my name has been treated by my family members, but what matters more to me is what I think of me and how I spend zero time thinking about them. They would like to be in my head 24/7, but I don't allow it. It's all about boundaries for me, and with those folks I need good, strong ones.

Sending you my support. I know what a toxic family can be like.

I hear you Muji. Because I am out of work with no money and staying in my mother's old apartment their toxic energy still affects me, where as before when I had a job I lived so far away from them and had NO contact with them for 30 years.
IF only I could catch the next plane out to another country, far from them to never hear from them again but i'm not in a position to do so financially.
Thanks for the support.
