    Please don't be afraid of being honest, I am specifically after everyone's personal opinions of their own experiences not a debate or discussion over what someone else has said, and that will be removed if it happens.

    I would love to be able to go to parliament and say, 'this is what is happening, this is how they feel, this is what they want.'

    There is no right or wrong, what you feel is the key thing here because they want to know what they can do to help, so they need to know the problems you are facing. I really appreciate your open honesty and I will protect that.
