He asked me what happen I didn't say anything in response. He grabed my hand fliped it over and kissed the scares and gave me a hug. I was so shocked that I didn't realise what happened untill about 5 minutes later ...... I cried and cried when I got home because of that..... A child shouldn't have to see that ..... I think God used that child as a wake up call.

I just feel ashamed that he seen them

I think you might be right that it was a wake up call. Try not to think about how it affected him - he might not have even realised it was deliberate self harm on your arms. Instead think of how God wants this message from Him to impact on your life. *hugs for you*
