Overall, it sounds like you need case management. That would be a social worker to help you fill out the forms you need to get the ball rolling. Someone like this could drive you to your appointments, helped you get emergency foodstamps (you can get them in one day). Explained to you that you can still get SSI since you have not worked much. Have you been to your counties mental health agency or called them? If you explain your situation, I think they can help you. I also think the police, the housing lady and the child support people were crazy to think you would be able to identify your attacker by name! And just what kind of letter was he suppose to write? "Dear Housing Authority, I raped this lady and got her pregnant when I assaulted her and am fully prepared to take responsibility...". The social programs we have in place sometimes do not work. This isn't your fault and I am so sorry you are having to to through this. But keep plugging away at it and see if you can get a case manager to help. Hugs!
