Answer 2

I am sorry that you have these problems,governments and the people in these bureaucracies can be so insensitive and unfeeling. I have been in 5 car accidents caused by self irresponsible people, and it is difficult to live on what i get for a disabilty pension. What do these bureacrats expect us to eat? cat food?   If you are in the USA as I suspect you are, you might try the resources mentioned at this website http://www.mamashealth.com/women/womanco...
