This is a really interesting question. My mum, my parents volunteer at a food bank local to where they live and I've recently told them that I am now using food banks. Um, so I've been using a program locally to me and I've been using them since I think November and they're just in total denial that this is my life and that I'm at such a point where I can't sacrifice money from anywhere else in my budget that now the food budget has to go and that in order to survive this is what I have to do. And I just. Yeah I think it's just shocked me that it's just so dismissed that this is my life. Yet they're experiencing food banks at the other end and it's making them feel good thinking that they're doing something to help but yet their own daughter isn't worthy of their help. Yeah so I just feel even more unimportant, insignificant and just this lost member of society that isn't valued it.
