For about a week ago I told my mum about my SI problems.
She took it like I told her if it was sun or something.
At first I thought it was great, but now it's like she don't care.
If she ever ask about it she just asks what I use to cut.
I never tell her...
But she never asked what make me feel so low that I started.
Well, she asked once, and I told her it was the thing with my friend.
And that it was some other things, but it don't seem like she cares.
Last time she said anything about it she said something like "You don't have any problems!"
How the hell would she know if I have problems or not?
If I didn't have any problems, then tell my why I cut and why I look so far down on my self, why I cry myself to sleep because I feel so low. And all that really for nothing.
I also kind of (almost) have ED.
So if you don't consider that as problems, then what?
I don't want my mum to feel so sorry for me and all that, but she could at least care?

Reading this post to be honest i do think your mum does care but does not know how to approach the subject with you.
Have you tried sitting down and talking to her about your SI and see what she does then sweetheart?
Well, it is a good thing that you've told her, at least in my opinion.
If you'd really like for her to understand, perhaps you can sit her down and explain it to her, like what a problem it is, what else is going on in your life. Parents aren't always the smartest or most knowledgeable people. Your mom might have thought it was just something you did like once or twice.
Sometimes parents will care about nothing at all, and then the huge stuff will go right over their heads. You deserve a solid adult behind you. Good luck.
It's not uncommon for parents to either become extremely overprotective when they find out their kid is SIing or they act distant because they're not sure what to say. Oftentimes the parents are blaming themselves for what the child is doing. Next time she asks, you could broach the subject that you think she doesn't care.

I don't feel like just go over to her and talk to her, so yeah, I think I'll wait until she her selfs say something.
I'm not really the person to put words the right way :P

Well done for telling your mum hun. That was really good for you to do.
My mum was the same. it's still awkward. I think she does care, she just doesn't know how to approach it. She's probably a bit shocked that you're hurting so much and there's not a lot she can do. She'll come around huni don't worry -hugs-
good luck I hope everything goes ok

Well done for telling her, I know you were scared of doing it. It was really brave of you.
She will care but she might just find it hard to express how she feels and doesn't know how to react. If she doesn't mention it in a while maybe you could try and explain it to her?
See I cannot feel this, not matter how you try and in the real world, there's no goodbyes.
