| Posted: 01 Nov 2020 01:28 AM PDT So a brief rundown: the past 8 years my dad has had random spikes of psychotic behavior and it's gotten worse and worse over time. This year, and specifically the past few months, it has gotten worse exponentially. I'm pretty sure he has an extreme case of paranoid schizophrenia and possibly other debilitations. There have been several times that police have come to our house because of calls related to his behavior, but without evidence for an obvious crime, there's never really been much success there. Especially since he seems to be able to flip off his craziness like a switch when police show up— then we end up looking like we made the whole thing up. A little more background, his father fought in Vietnam and had exposure to Agent Orange (suspected, I don't know the specific details) and ended up becoming very violent and disconnected later in life. My father's oldest brother has also been diagnosed with schizophrenia and is currently in the state hospital for murdering their mother (my grandmother). My father's second oldest brother is currently in prison for attempted murder, which he had tried to convince my father to help him with. To put it bluntly: there is a family history of psychopathic tendencies and murder on my dad's side. Lately, my father has been getting increasingly crazier. He says he sees spirits jumping in and out of animals and people, he calls it a gift from god. He's also been watching a lot of murder documentaries and has been making weird comments about murdering people. He told my mother that he needed to kill this guy he suspected of stalking my mother, or "at least cut his legs off" so he can't stalk her anymore. And then the other day he told my mother that the shows he's watching are making him want to attempt murder. Specifically, he said he's been wanting to "take a hammer and bash someone's head in". At this point, we don't know what our options are but I fear we're in a lot of danger. I've been sleeping with a pocket knife under my pillow because I seriously wouldn't put it past him to try and kill me in the middle of the night while I'm sleeping. Police don't seem to be an option because we don't have proof of a crime and also because he always seems to flip it off like a switch. Not really sure what to do but I'm scared and any advice is appreciated [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Nov 2020 05:40 AM PST Update: Now my child is going back and forth whether they said I made it up to these other people or that I told my child "to say the truth" (eg the sexual abuse happened). Now I have been adamant about my child saying the truth, whatever it is to them, as only they know so maybe this is true. Frankly, I just need a drink at this point. Edit 2: I created my handle over a month ago after being disclosed to by my child trying to figure out the next steps to protect them and advice from other parents on how to help them heal. The information I provided slipped on genders and specifics, so I deleted them to protect my child's privacy. Edit 3: Due to another posters concern, please let me stress that is not me vindictively trying to withhold my child(ren) from the other parent. There isn't a vindictive bone in my body. I'd rather walk away and not entice further pain, hence the separation/divorce with a coparenting focus until the sexual abuse allegations. To say this is unequivocally false on my side is an understatement. They explicitly told me and I went through weeks of shock where I precipitously dropped weight from disgust and stress of it. Now I know why SVU hasn't filed charges and CPS hasn't create a protective order. I didn't tell my child to say these things, nor did I make them up. Considering the big and specific lie said about me, I don't know if I should believe the sexual abuse claims as it is also big and specific. There are other behaviors that lead credence to the sexual abuse claims, but now I'm wondering if my child is some sort of I-don't-know-what that is creating major lies. What are the possible outcomes for my child's false statement that I made it up and made my child lie. Pretty sure it means I'll lose all my children permanently and they'll go to the other parent. I knew pursuing the sexual abuse claims could mean I lose them if I lost in court, but I was so thoroughly convinced of my child's story that I couldn't live with myself if I ignored it. LA, what in the hell do I do? My child is insisting the sexual abuse claims are real to me still, but I'm questioning all their statements in totality now. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Nov 2020 11:12 AM PST I am a manager at my work part of my responsibilities is to stay on the property during my entire shift we are given a 1 hour paid lunch break that we do not have to clock out for. However due to recent covid outbreak the new policy is no eating in the building. They had set up a tent outside for us to eat in but it is starting to get cold out as well there are not heaters in there. My question is can they legally do this to us? Also I work 4:00 p.m. to midnight shift. [link] [comments]  |
| Ex-wife won’t return my passport Posted: 01 Nov 2020 06:33 AM PST Hi All, I'm in Massachusetts. I've contact her lawyer twice now requesting that my ex-wife returns my passport. It's an old passport and expired, but I just don't understand why she refuses to return it. Is there anything for me to do? I have no lawyer. Divorce was less than 3 months ago. Many thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| Customer’s custom order includes trademarked names Posted: 01 Nov 2020 10:07 AM PST I have a custom tshirt listing on Etsy that allows buyers to include a custom text message. About 2 weeks ago, someone ordered it with a message that includes the name of a band and some song titles/album names. I fulfilled it cause it was a one time thing and didn't think much of it. But the buyer turned out to be a Instagram fan page(?) with a huge following for the specific artist. Now I have 30+ orders with the exact custom message. I'm grateful but scared to fulfilled these orders. Will I get in trouble if the artist's company/management finds out? I don't mention this artist/their songs anywhere in my listing. Also, the original buyer posted a photo review so the custom design is currently visible on my Etsy page. Should I ask them to remove it? It's five stars but the photo review includes the name of the artist... Edit. Am in the United States. [link] [comments]  |
| Life Time injection/Restraining Order... Posted: 01 Nov 2020 04:33 AM PST Edit: I'm in Florida When I was a kid my dad filed for a lifetime injunction against my birth mother which protected me and him from her... He told me that it was a lifetime injunction in which she could never come around us again... I'm about to be 18 and I wish to see her, I have not seen her since I was about 7 or 8.. he is trying to tell me that it covers me for the rest of my life and if I do so it will be a legal and that he will call the cops and have us arrested her invalidating an injunction... To me this sounds like him trying to be controlling, is it possible that something like this exists? How is someone, a parent, trying to control an 18 year old, and say such foolishness?

| Can my employer prevent me from calling police when I am being assaulted? Posted: 01 Nov 2020 09:30 AM PST I work in a state agency that serves the developmentally disabled and mentally ill. Some of my clients can be quite violent. We have some methods of protecting ourselves (holds, blocking pads) but do not have as many options as a police officer. (They have handcuffs, tasers, etc.) Sometimes a behavior is so extreme that staff cannot control the situation. In the past we have called police in these extreme situations in order to attain safety. Recently, staff have been told by administrators that we are not allowed to call the police. There have been instances in the past where administration have pressured staff into dropping charges against a client. What is the legality of this? Can an employer stop employees who are being assaulted from calling the police. How do I educate myself and self advocate? Location: Colorado. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Nov 2020 06:46 AM PST My sister works at an urgent care clinic that I visit when I need, well, urgent care. Turns out once they realized this (years ago), they never fixed their computers to block my information from my sister, who apparently got nosy. I work for my dad and have bipolar disorder. He doesn't believe mental illness exists and liked to make me cry. Then he would blame it on the "drugs" I was taking and I spent years with him yelling at me, belittling me, and calling me a "druggie." They only way he could have known about my prescribed long term Rx for Valium is if he was getting regular updates. I have specifically given him no permission to have anything to do with my health because of his philosophy about my need to even see a Dr. I slowly stopped working long hours and slowly became part time, which only irritated dad more because he needed my work, even though he always told me I get everything wrong. If I cried, he just got louder and meaner. He had a meeting with me where he said he wouldn't tolerate my attendance issues, but honestly he broke me over the past 4-5 years and I can't work a regular job because I'm just a psychological mess. I quit my job of 18 years in tax preparation making $23/hr and now I have nothing. I have my son's student loan debt to worry about. I have bills. I desperately need therapy that I can't afford. Do I have any legal recourse against the Dr office, my sister, or my dad? I'm 40 years old and my life is ruined. Edit: I am in Tennessee. Thanks for your advice in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Nov 2020 08:28 AM PST Location is Georgia I purchased a house in an HOA community this year. The house had a brick flair added to the support beams for the back deck. They didn't look out of place and it matched the brick on the house. So last month the management company sent a mass email threatening fines for vehicles parked in the road, trash cans left out and unapproved modifications. I didn't think anything of it because it was like that already when I purchased, but today I was just fined $750 for "refusing to remove the brick wall". Do I have a leg to stand on here? I haven't spoken with them yet about it, I just don't know what to say. Thanks in advance Picture to follow https://imgur.com/gallery/QhpHFge Mass email [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Nov 2020 08:31 AM PST Our HOA is amending our rules and regulations. This one concerns me as it is so vague. It reads... " Trades and nuisances. No noxious or offensive trade shall be carried on upon any lot in this subdivision nor shall anything be done thereon which shall be or become a nuisance to the neighborhood " Can someone clarify what this means? Then they also added no construction can be done even inside the home without approval. What? I can understand maintaining the outside so the neighborhood doesn't look run down. This is a subdivision of roughly 200 single family homes. Each home is different this is not a cookie cutter neighborhood. We were planning to renovate and make this our forever home. Now we are wondering why do any of that if the HOA is going to be this controlling. Edited to add location Indiana [link] [comments]  |
| Can my 17 yr old sister live with me(21 f)? Posted: 01 Nov 2020 11:39 AM PST Utah, US Unfortunately I have decided it's finally time to move out and get myself off the lease with my mother due to some things I do not like and mental health. I move in Thursday. I told my sister that once she turned 18 she could move in with me and I would get a 2 bedroom. Unfortunately she has just told me my mom is going to charge her rent. She's 17 - works two days - and goes to school. She graduates this year and told me she wants to move now. She doesn't like the idea of paying rent. She's willing to pay a few bills. Not rent and I can afford it but can she move in with Me? What can I do to help her? Without also getting my mom in trouble. It's something I had to go through too and I had no choice but to leave school and work for my mom and her boyfriend. I don't want her to go through that. I want her to graduate and keep studying. Please help. Thank you in advance. [link] [comments]  |

| Neighbors Installing driveway in front of Speed bump Posted: 01 Nov 2020 07:48 AM PST TRLT: Can my neighbors install a driveway in front of a speed bump? Location is FL Question is it legally allowed for my neighbors to install a driveway in front of the speed bump between our houses? I live in florid but, I cannot find anything regarding to that when searching online. I don't have a problem with them with install a driveway. Although I'm worried they will mess up the drainage system for the rain. You see the drain is on their side but, all the water that we get from the rain flows into there from both of our properties. The reason for them to be doing this is for their family members to be able to park, that comes over every month. They cannot just build off their driveway due to a power poll was installed on their left side of it and the right side is a little bit of grass and then their neighbors driveway. I cannot speak with them due to a language barrier, they cannot speak English and I do not know how to speak Spanish. Although I can talk to one of their family members but, I haven't seen them for 2 months now. I would assume this is illegal, but I cannot find information about this due to the word speed bump when searching comes up illegal speed bump and nothing else. Who do I call if this illegal?

| Can I ask for a lump sum workman’s comp payment? Posted: 01 Nov 2020 12:13 PM PST I'm a landscaper for a large, wealthy country club in Colorado. In August, a several hundred pound boulder fell off a large retaining wall and crushed my leg. I was taken to urgent care and splinted until I could get an ultrasound and see an orthopedic surgeon. Nothing was broken, thankfully, but my leg was still very injured. I had a lot of tissue and muscle damage, and bone marrow damage. I also lost all sensation in my leg from my mid-calf down to my heel. I was on crutches for awhile, and then a boot until very recently. I am now able to walk, but still have no sensation in my leg. At my last visit with the orthopedic surgeon, she informed me that the nerves in my leg are dead, and there's a slim chance they'll regenerate. As if that's not enough, my boss admitted to me that they knew the boulder was loose and about to fall at the beginning of the summer and did nothing to fix it. My workers comp payment have been about $250 a week which is not nearly enough for my to survive, and now that I know I have permanent nerve damage I'm beyond pissed and want to pursue a lump sum payment. Do I have a leg to stand on? (Lol) [link] [comments]  |
| Tenant Blackmailing and extorting Landlord for 10k because of Illegal basement appartment Posted: 01 Nov 2020 04:24 AM PST Tenant in NYC claims apartment is illegal and is asking the Landlord to pay back their 2 month security deposit and then on top of that unreasonably demanding another 7k. Is this legal? The basement is not hazardous, has windows in every room that are full size, has multiple exits, even has a back yard exit and all carbon monoxide alarms are also installed. Tenant is pressuring my friend who is the landlord to sign this agreement so that they can live rent free until they move out and when they move out to pay 10k. They have already said that they are not paying November's rent and any rent thereafter. Also, gave the Landlord threats to sign this agreement or they will pressure and report the place as illegal. Is any of this illegal and can it be reported? I suggest to my friend to just handle the situation as is and offer them a buyout "Cash for Keys". The amount then can be negotiated. Landlord wants some insight on what his options are. NYC courts are closed because of Covid-19. This whole situation doesn't add up to me, I am a landlord myself and I have never had any tenant make such crazy demands. Realistically, what can be done about this whole situation and what is the best course of action? Feel free to offer insight. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| How do I insure my personal posessions in this situation? Posted: 01 Nov 2020 08:08 AM PST I am planning on moving in with my boyfriend. His house was left to him and his brother by his mom and he pays his brother payments to buy out his brother's share eventually. We are planning to write a lease that has basic details like who pays what, how much notice each person has to give etc. Hes going to get a basic homeowners insurance policy. How can I ensure my stuff? Could I do renters insurance even though he isn't a real landlord? [link] [comments]  |
| Employer says we wont get paid for extra hour tonight for "falling back" Posted: 31 Oct 2020 03:18 PM PDT Work place: Kentucky Working overnight and employer said they will not be paying us the extra hour we are working and instead the extra hour will be applied next year during the start of Daylight Savings Time, to not incur OT (if we are even scheduled that day) I'm pretty sure this is illegal..right? Does anyone know how I can convince my employer that this is wrong? Does anyone have a specific article from the DOL that they can find? Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| [NY] Weird expensive packages getting delivered Posted: 01 Nov 2020 01:11 PM PST We are in the process of selling our house in NY and because of that the house is vacant. A couple months ago there was a brand new phone delivered under my dads name but not purchased with any of our credit cards. We assumed it was an error and just returned the phone to AT&T who said they'd look into it. This seems pretty normal but this past week one of our family members drove past the house and saw a car sitting in the driveway. A couple hours later my dad drove by and the car was still there. My dad spoke to the driver who said he had just pulled in to take a call, and once my dad called him out on the fact that he'd been there for 3+ hours he admitted that he was waiting for a package. Soon after that the car left our house and my dad got a couple photos of the plates. The next day we got a $2000 drone delivered under a random name we have never seen. The police told us that it's not their issue because it's to do with mail. Is there anything we should be doing to figure out what's going on with these weird dudes and expensive packages? What should we do with this expensive drone that is now in our possession? I'm assuming that there has been multiple packages sent over the last few months that we didn't catch, and i'm also gonna guess that the packages might have been purchased using stolen credit cards? Please let me know if there's anything I can do about this since we are all pretty confused. [link] [comments]  |

| Inherited my grandmas house & have no idea what to do Posted: 01 Nov 2020 04:18 AM PST Title pretty much says it all. I'm 22, my dad just passed away and I'm left with the family house. (Was my grandmas but when she passed, he got it, now on to me) I had no clue my dad was months behind on the house note and I've been scrambling to figure things out but I had someone explain to me I may be able to sell it or give it back to the bank? regardless of the missed notes. Not sure if that's the case but some advice would do me great at the moment. The house has been owned since 1998, it's way too big for me to handle myself & I don't have the want to rent it out.

| Can my boss ask me about my medical conditions? Posted: 31 Oct 2020 07:52 PM PDT Please advise if this is the wrong subreddit. Long time lurker, first time poster. On mobile. Yada yada Background: I have chronic migraines that I have had for 12 years. They are currently well-controlled, except when the weather changes like it did this week. Thus, I have had a migraine all week. Tonight, my migraine got so bad that I had to skip trick-or-treating with my kids. I messaged my boss just in case I couldn't make it in the morning. I also tried to get my shift covered. She told me to take the day off and rest. I told her I would be there if I could. She told me they would manage. Now my boss wants to know if my migraines are chronic. "Are migraines a condition you get often? Is this a chronic condition? Please let me know." Do I even have to answer that? Is this even legal? I went in all week with a migraine and made it work. For reference, I am a full-time, hourly Baker in the state of California. I have no sick time or paid leave. Thanks in advance! Edit: Thank you all for the advice. I did a lot of googling last night and talked to a friend who runs a business. I am no longer concerned that, as one redditor said, this is a nefarious question. I'll be informing my boss now. Thanks again! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Nov 2020 11:43 AM PST So I was at a friends house for a Halloween party and got into a little drunken argument with some guy who was there. Words were exchanged and tempers were getting heated, so a friend of mine stepped in and separated everyone and things kinda settled down. Later that evening after the party, this same guy comes to where I was staying and walks inside to where I was in the kitchen and sucker punches me - once on the eyebrow and once on the nose. Apparently he was still upset from what I said earlier and found out where I was staying. I went to the ER after and find out I have a broken nose, minor concussion, and needed 6 stitches in my eyebrow. I haven't received the bill yet, but I had a CT scan done so I assume it'll be substantial. How do I go about suing for medical expenses? I already went to the magistrate and am in the process of filing assault charges. Any help in navigating the process is appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
