Is it possible to be sued by a family member (your mother) if

The fuck am I reading.

If it's libelous they can sue you. I don't think there's any law against insulting your own mother, although there should be.

I didn't know Ignatius Reily was on /lit/

mother's shouldn't be exempt if they're assholes.

Basically my mommy went in my room as I was taking a walk late last night and discovered a stack of pages from my memoir that I'm currently editing. She was waiting downstairs when I got back and started shouting at me wanting to know what I was up to and why I was writing about her. I told her about my memoir and its literary merit and the fact that it is very likely to make me something of a voice for what might be called my "generation" (I don't like that phrase either, but I can't help what the reviewers say). She didn't appear to comprehend what I was saying and insisted again that I remove any mention of her. When I again refused and (as has become my tactic on such occasions) rushed to my bedroom and sat behind the door to prevent her from forcing entry, she shouted that she would sue me if she ever saw a book published with her name in it. I mean, she isn't a reader and only reads very few books that I occasionally shame her into reading (I had to follow her around the house reading aloud from 'Stoner' until she agreed to read it independently) so I'd be surprised if she ever did find out I'd written so much about her. I anticipate the reaction to my book will be intense and international and that even individuals like my mother will learn about me and, consequently, herself.

your mother brought you into this world you ungrateful shit

Sure, that's a great thing. But they can certainly affect you negatively after that, either with neglect or being overly protective.

So are you a woman or an "honor thy father and mother" christfag?

Are you fourteen years old? Publishing it on deviantArt or Fanfiction.net?

Either way, just make up an alias for her.

>>9140443
If she sues you it will only garner attention. Look at Milo.

I think you should make up some complex sexual fetishes she forced on you at an early age, it falls well within artistic prerogative.

>an alias

I've considered find+replacing her name, but if I do that I'll have to do the same thing for everybody else in the book, which will take a lot of time and I intuit that this will reduce the quality of the work as a whole somehow.

She'd still be identifiable as your mother, unless you provide no context about her whatsoever.

I think there might be a :change all cases: option

Find: Mom
Change to: Cynthia
All cases: Yes

Good bait though regardless
