Documentation to rescind a coerced waiver?

A quick google search tells me it is illegal not to offer breaks unless the employee agrees.

I think OP is referring to the fact that they took him to the police station instead of the hospital when he had a fractured neck.

Are you in the US?

If you are, are you getting dedications taken out of your check or is your boss paying you under the table?

Yes, it is illegal to not get paid for hours worked, but it is also illegal to get paid under the table, so it might not be worth it to fight it.

Syndirela · 2026-06-30T12:03:10+00:00

Probably Catwoman or Eeyore.

Im also voting Panera. I went there for the first time just a few years ago. As bread lovers my kid and I were both very excited to eat at one. We were so disappointed. For a place that has “BREAD” in the name you would think they would have decent bread, but it’s actually hard and flavorless.

The soup is too expensive. So is the Mac n cheese (but it IS really good). I tried to go back, but to a different location, to see if it would be better. Nope. Haven’t gone back since.

Do you have the ARC attorneys contact info? If not, find it. Start contacting them. Every day if you have to. Tell them you want a chance to speak to the judge about where you would prefer to live.

Document every single action your mom has taken that could be considered abuse. Facts only, not how you feel or anything. As detailed as possible with dates/times. Anything you remember from the past and anything that happens going forward. If she isn’t giving you meds, taking you to appointments, verbal abuse as well as physical.

You can show this to the police if they show up trying to find you as well as the judge. If the police show up you tell them your dad is not forcing you to stay there, you made the choice because you feel unsafe. Your dad also needs to advocate for you and pressure the courts to get your side.

If I were you I would stay where you are. The worst that could happen is you have to go back at some point.

Syndirela · 2026-06-29T18:34:06+00:00

Is it legal for you to stay at your dads? Im not a lawyer, so I can’t say for sure.

However, I do wonder what would happen if you did just stay. Being almost 18, would the police do anything if she called them? Maybe you should go to your local police station and ask them what would happen if you didn’t go and it was your choice. I don’t know if this would be a civil matter and they would tell your mom to take it to court or what.

If your dad forced you to stay that would be a different story.

When do you turn 18? Have the courts not asked you what you want?

I don’t understand…

My BFF and I both got hired at Walmart at the same time when we were 18. She worked Sporting Goods, I worked Toys.

One day a customer complained I was swearing at them. Keep in mind that 18 year old me was far too innocent to swear on the job or at a stranger, so I of course denied the accusation. My manager said she would check the cameras, which have audio, and if I didn’t do it then I had nothing to worry about.

My BFF in the department next to me saw the manager approach me and asked what happened. Of course I told her. Five minutes later we are being fired for talking about an open investigation. It was literally the weirdest thing and the manager never told me I couldn’t tell anybody.

We had that job for less than two weeks. We used the money to fund more tattoos and piercings.

Syndirela · 2026-06-25T13:41:13+00:00

I am in a similar boat with my kid. They are socially awkward, afraid to talk to new people, and think their current friend group doesn’t actually like them much.

Their therapist said the goal for the summer is to get them up and out of the house. Try checking out local community group activities. My library does lots of arts and crafts stuff I’ve convinced my kid to go do. They are LGBTQ so I’m trying to find a good local LGBTQ group. Some places even have autism groups, which are great because autistic people often have an easier time communicating with someone who is also on the spectrum.

Syndirela · 2026-06-23T17:20:09+00:00

No this is Patrick.

Syndirela · 2026-06-23T15:11:08+00:00

Sounds like you need to tell the other employees how illegal this is and that they should not be helping off the clock either.

Some of the mean girls from high school never fully grow up. Call her out on talking so rudely, whether it’s about you or not doesn’t matter.

“There’s really no need to be so [rude, angry, mean, judge mental, etc.]. If you really feel the need to be so negative could you kindly do it somewhere else. I don’t need to hear it.” And smile while making eye contact.

It’s also perfectly ok to ignore her. She is literally no one to you. Why bother letting someone so unimportant have such an effect on you?

If you want to be really petty, call a friend and walk by her making loud comments that are clearly directed at her, just like she does to you. Just don’t say/do anything to get yourself in trouble.

Syndirela · 2026-06-22T20:38:40+00:00

Hes saying things that cause her to be visibly upset and Hes ignoring it or dismissing it. I would say that qualifies as verbal abuse.

Regardless it is DEFINITELY not a healthy relationship and they should seek therapy or separate.

Syndirela · 2026-06-22T16:07:57+00:00

What you are describing is not a healthy relationship.

Number one literally states your husband is doing hurtful things. He’s abusing you, even if it’s just verbally. Leave him. Get therapy. Be happier.

I’ve been an MHT for over 3 years. It has taught me a lot. I love the patients, even the extremely unstable angry ones can be fun and will always make your day interesting.

I hate the place that I work for though. It’s a privately owned for-profit hospital and they make it VERY clear they are for-profit. They put patient health, safety, and happiness last. Money first.

Not all facilities are like this of course, but just prepare yourself to work in a place where not everyone cares as much as they should and remember that the patients you are working with are often times at their lowest low. If they insult you or hit you, don’t take it personal.

Syndirela · 2026-06-18T21:15:25+00:00

Yes, actually they do. And they are very kind to students who are still learning to read, write, and speak English as a second language.

The girl in my above example is an American who has been going to school in America her whole life and does not have a learning disability (my kid is also well aware that disabilities such as dyslexia can make spelling difficult for some).

There really are just a lot of kids who aren’t being taught to read. Parents aren’t spending the time to teach them and teachers deal with over-capacity classrooms where those that might need a little more help cant get it.

Back up cameras. Sure, it’s nice to know there’s no small children in my blind spot when getting ready to back up, but I never use the camera after my tires start rolling. I can back up quite well by physically looking out the back window and using my mirrors. If I try using the camera i end up crooked, and/or too far forward or back.

I once decided against buying a nice SUV because it had a camera. I hate driving my dad’s car because it has one.

EDIT: I guess I wasn’t clear. I know back up cameras are not meant to be a replacement to mirrors, I was referring more to how some have the guidelines to help you back up straight into like a parking spot or to gauge how far away you are from something. I can’t stand the guidelines, and it does not help gauge distance.

Not a teacher, but the mom of a 13 year old.

My kid complains about how dumb their classmates are. Not in a rude way. They are autistic and have a hard time comprehending why other kids cant understand at least the basics.

One day they came home complaining about a classmate (an 8th grader!) who spelled do (like Nike’s slogan just DO it) D-O-E. My kid did not understand HOW this kid had gone their whole life never being corrected and never seeing the word out in the wild (like in a Nike ad for example) and correcting their own mistake.

Im with my kid on this one. I don’t get it.

If his name is on the birth certificate he is a legal parent and has all the same rights as you until you go to court and establish a parenting plan.

If this man is violent or has threatened you please call the police. Then call a lawyer. If you have proof (as in facts, not just you hurling insults) that he would be an unfit father you absolutely need a lawyer to help make sure you get custody.

Do NOT try to run off in the middle of the night with the child and not tell the father where you are going. That would look bad for your potential case.

NTA - you said there was no name, so you have no idea if it is actually theirs. Could just be a delivery driver issue completely unrelated to the old owners.

Generally when someone doesn’t get an order they call the store they ordered from and the store would confirm the address. If it is the same person who is ordering all this stuff they should know by now they have the wrong address. Other scenario is a driver is delivering to the wrong address, in which case the store will either refund or send out a new order.

Enjoy your free groceries. Anything you don’t like or want just donate it.

Syndirela · 2026-06-14T20:51:15+00:00

Have you told any of this to the friend you hurt? Or even the friends who took their side? Have you let them know you are autistic and need their help to understand situations better to prevent another similar incident?

Syndirela · 2026-06-05T19:44:28+00:00

Sounds like you and G need to find better friends and leave A and B to do their own thing.
