In PA, can my ex-girlfriend sue me for damages, claiming I am responsible for her psychological disorders?

My ex-girlfriend, who lived with me in my house (no lease or written agreement, only a verbal one which she reneged on) said she was going to leave 18 months ago. I gave her money to get started in a new apartment and paid to fix her car a year ago and she still didn't move out - in fact, she moved her pregnant unmarried daughter into the house with her and her minor son. After a ridiculous spat, she locked me out of the house and said the lawyers would handle it from here. I had my lawyer send her a letter telling her she had 30 days to move out. 35 days later she was still there, and the courts evicted her and her family. She is now claiming she will sue me for damages for her psychological disorders which she claims I caused and which she says prevent her from working or properly functioning in society (even though the conditions existed before she met me). She is claiming I did more damage by not telling her I had had bisexual relationships prior to meeting her - even though I was monogamous with her. Within the laws of PA is there any way she can actually do this, and would something like this stand up in court?

Not even remotely, dont even worry about that, in fact courts dont even give those things a second thought, my husbands exwife tried to sue him for her being bi-polar...the judge just laughed....if you havent dont anything to harm her...such as sexually or you havent been abusive to her physically then you are alright..Now as long as you havent been abusive such as a repeated "proven" emotionaly abusive person then you are in teh clear...

No worries my friend nothing here is going to stand in court

Just remember that if she takes you to court its her responsibility to prove without a reasonable doubt that she is right...it will be your job in court to keepon the straight and narrow because she has to sway the judge opinion to more then a 51% chance, even if the judge ges 50/50 you still win because she hasnt proven herself..and hersay is nothing in court you have to bring letters and video documentation to prove hose types of things and if you havent done anything to show that then you are in the clear....unless youve sent her life threateneing letters then you better talk to your lawyer....other then that you are good! Good Luck !

Thanks for the input, AngelCakes! This woman is seriously messed up psychologically, in my opinion. She was diagnosed with PTSD due to childhood abuse and abuse during her previous 3 marriages and 2 other engagements. I've found out that she's gotten PFA's against her brother, 2 of her ex'es, and one of her sisters. Her sister had her arrested for assault. I was informed of none of this before we got into a deep relationship. During our relationship, she has physically assaulted me 4 times, the last time bloodying my mouth and loosening a tooth. I didn't call the police because I was trying to be understanding, figuring it's her psychological disability that makes her do these things. Now I know I shouldn't have let her slide, because a psychologist she was seeing says "she exhibits the preponderance of the indicators for borderline personality disorder," which she refuses to get treatment for. She just sees a psychiatrist every few months to get her medication prescriptions renewed. But she's started drinking again, which is contraindicated for all the medications she's taking.

Now SHE's called the police on me, falsely claiming sexual assault, and trying to have me put in prison. I've never raised a hand to this woman. I've never done anything other than yell at her when she starts accusing me of cheating on her, and her calling me "a lying scumball faggot." She actually tried to get me to cheat on her by masquerading as a number of other people, photos and all, on the web. And when I didn't bite on the come-ons, it pissed her off.

The courts evicted her from my house, and somehow she thinks that if she gets me behind bars, she will get to live in my house at my expense. Her exact words to me were, "I'll have everything you own and everything you hope to own for the rest of your life!" And she sure seems to be trying to follow through with that. I've spent thousands of dollars trying to get this sick woman out of my life, and it's looking like I'll be spending thousands more.
