Is it possible to sue my mother for mental abuse during both my childhood and as an adult. ?

I'm now 30 yrs old and my mother has been verbally and emotionally abusing me for as long as I can remember. She is constantly calling me retarded and a dumb *** and everything in between. I've tried to ask her to quit treating me this way and it only gets worse. Also she is an alcoholic and an addict, and has been all my life. She was buying me alcohol at the age of 12 and later started doing drugs with me, pushing me to be an addict and an alcoholic as well. Currently i'm being treated for depression, bi-polar disorder and anxiety, along with the addictions. I feel her actions have been causing me to fall steadily deeper into addiction and depression over the years. I'm not really looking for anything more than for her to be held responsible for her actions. What steps do I need to take to see that she is held responsible for her actions?
