I wasn't responding to Mikes problem exactly. I was responding to
Anthonys thread which was more a general question about DD being
victimized and wondering what the correct thing is for a woman in
that position who may still be in the care of her parents. I think
Mike is being discriminated against the same as you do. It's just
that I work in the law and it is not that easy to file a federal
lawsuit but maybe there are non profit legal orgs that could help.
