My parents know now **Positive post!**
Okay, so, apparently my mom's had her suspicions since she went through my room a few weeks ago (I DIDN'T know about that until today), but didn't say anything about it until now. But she saw the scars at my swim meet today and, oddly, she was fairly cool about it. She has the common parent view of "well, it's VERY easy to stop," but I'm gonna send her some links from this site to help me explain. She's also planning on having me set up to go see my therapist again if I think that talking to my councilor isn't working. I'm actually really happy with the sudden support she's showing after fifteen years of making me feel worthless. ^^

Feel free to PM me any time. I'm terrible at talking to people, but since I have very few friends I'm always open to trying to make some more ^^

I'm glad that your mum's found out; hopefully the support of your parents will be helpful. Yeah, it's a very common view for parents to think, but if you explain it to her perhaps she'll understand. It sounds like she really cares and really wants to help.
Take care.

It doesn't matter where you come from; it matters where you go.
No-one gets remembered for the things they didn't do. We won't all be here this time next year,
so while you can take a picture of us. We're definitely going to hell,
but we'll have all the best stories to tell.

Thanks, both of you ^^ My dad feels kinda terrible and like he wasn't being a good parent since he's home more often but he didn't notice. I'm trying to make him feel better... IDK what to say though.

My dad blames himself for not noticing my cuts.
I think it is normal for parents to blame themselves as they feel they have let you down and havnt protected you enough.
I just reassured my dad; it wasnt his fault. theres not much you can do to be honest.
I reckon it was good my dad found out about my cutting. He helped me get the support I needed at that time. Hopefully your parents will do the same.

I talked to my dad again, he feels less like it's his fault but he still blames himself :( I'm pretty positive that it's just a parent thing now ^^ I'm being set up to see my old therapist again in a few weeks, I'm pretty happy about that.

I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.
Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.
You didn't come this far just to come this far.
