My parents found out. My Mom still knows I hit myself and is supportive. I printed out some articles about what family can do to help someone who self-injures. My Mom found it very helpful.

But my Dad thinks I've stopped. When he saw one of my self-harm bruises, he said nothing and walked away. Having my Dad know has made things worse and has triggered me more. Around him I act like I've stopped (even though I haven't.) He doesn't want to understand about my self-harm, why I do it, and be exposed to opinions other than his own. He wants to think he's right, so I am not bothering explaining my self-harm to him. You can't make a person understand.

Writing a letter sounds like a good idea.
