Maybe you could ask CCA about if they would pay for Guardian Healthcare in Jamaica Plain to provide a "Guardian Medical Companion." They often go with people who need to have someone be responsible for them for the day (getting them there and taking them home.)

Not a ton of live music this time of the year. Sadly BBC doesn’t have the night life scene like it did before the pandemic.

For nicer bars

  • west end (city pricey by good drinks)
  • anejo (probably the best nicer bar in the mid cape)
  • embargo (the closest thing we have to a nightclub, but still a bar)
  • five bays (if you are up for a trip to osterville)
  • Finn’s (great beer bar)

Dive-ier

  • 19th hole (classic nicer cape cod dive bar)

Music if you will travel

  • O’shea’s olde inn (great Irish music)
  • hog island brewing (great live bands on the weekend)

Unfortunately, your conference is in the slowest part of season and some great bars are closed until the spring.

You need a lawyer. That's retaliation and is illegal. I imagine if you called some lawyers you'd fine an employment lawyer who would take the case without you paying first

You not being able to access notes from previous appointments and a 12 year old making all medical decisions are two completely different things. Are you the one taking your child to the appointments? Are you allowed in the exam room? Are you speaking to his Dr about concerns? Are you speaking to your child about their concerns and if they are comfortable with a recommended treatment plan? Then you are involved in the medical decisions. Whether you feel you should have the final say or not, your child should always be a big part of the conversation. Personally, I believe my child, even at 12, was entitled to the final say over what happened to his body. If you feel differently, that's between you and your family.

I am not here to debate bodily autonomy or right to privacy with you. I saw from your other comments you have some strong feelings about that. What I will say, is I have worked hard to create a relationship with my children where they feel comfortable coming to me with anything. BUT, if there were ever a situation in their life that required them to seek medical care and, for whatever reason, they did not want me to know about it; I prefer they get the care they needed, and I never know, rather than them not seek treatment over fears of my finding out before they were ready to share.
