In response to a reader inquiry, I have developed this list of sources of help for deaf and hard of hearing victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. There is certainly a need to increase awareness of this information. Just last week, a deaf man killed his deaf wife on their 10th anniversary. Would she be alive today if she had known the information on this list? I don't know. I do hope that the presence of this information on the About.com Deafness site will help someone someday.
The domestic violence advocacy industry increasingly have become none other than divorce accessories. More and more judges are recognizing the fact that over 70% of domestic violence cases are plainly divorce accessories for no purpose other than to humiliate the opposing spouses. My divorce judge saw that and gave everything to me on May 10, 2007. The organization that stood up for my ex-wife’s fake domestic violence case has become bankrupt due to scores of libel cases against them and they had to reboot with a different name.
