Hi all
I just wanted to update you on my meeting with my MP today. She was so kind and actually very supportive. I would really encourage others to do it if they are feeling strong enough. Our stories are so tough to share but she had never been approached by an offender's family before. So raising awareness of us as hidden victims is so important. For the first time since this happened I felt seen.
I'm happy to share the letter I wrote that got me the meeting. I also gave her the Lucy Faithfull report to expand on the points I included in my letter

Well done and thank you, Lisa. I would love to read what you sent your MP to start with so can you send it on the private message bit of the forum? I vowed to be an advocate for others after our person's sentencing which was today.... xx
Well done and thank you for doing this. It'd be good if you could share your letter on here?
Good the MP replied and met you as I know of other situations where the MP hasn't even replied.
Wishing you all the best with your situation.
