Hey Sweetie,
Have you told your Mom how you feel when she talks about scarring? She probably didn't realise it was a trigger to you, and maybe she thought that by joking about it she was making the situation easier for you. I know it wasn't the case but I'm sure she didn't mean to upset you and it might help if you tell her that it triggers you so she knows for in the future.
Chelsea made a great suggestion about rubbing in moisturiser, it really does help soothe itching scars and can also help with fading them too.
I have many scars and also get upset about the fact I will have to live with them forever but darling, they are what make you, you. I hope in time you will feel less like you want to cut - it's so fantastic that you are beating the urges.
Thinking of you,
Lotti x
