[nabs-l] Arielle's point about people being infantilized at home

[Ashley Bramlett]

actually I think her post was about her mainly. She escaped some 
overrestrictive conditions and is expressing interesting in marrying Blake 
who is being stiffled by his parents on the basis of multiple disabilities. 
since we discussed dating before, I seeno problem in her post. to me, it 
spoke of overcoming some difficult issues which was a good story to hear.
