Possibly Triggering - Hopeful..Might not be right thread(but didn't know where else to put it..)
So my one friend that SIs pretty badly has been trying to stop for a while. He doesn't like promising anyone because he's broke them in the past and doesn't want to break them anymore. But before I had asked him if I could please take his sharp objects. Because he says that he has them just laying out in his room.. So obviously his father doesn't know what they are used for.. (he found out that his son SI, but I'm pretty sure he believes that he has stopped) And when I had originally suggested doing this, he said no. He said that he was afraid that without them he would do something worse.
But now tonight, he says that he is afraid that he will cut and he wishes that I would have already taken them. So I told him that I know he can fight it, that he can fight it for tonight. Then whenever he wants me to do it, he just has to tell me, and I'll find a way to be at his house, even if I have to walk, I'll be there. (which isn't too bad because he lives about 10minutes away driving)
I'm so proud of him. I know he will still be able to cut, because its not like I can take every single object out of his house, but its still such a big step for him. Seeing as how he's been doing this since about sixth or seventh grade, and he is now in eleventh. I'm one of the few who knows that he still does...
I don't think he realizes how great of a step this is. Because he said that I shouldn't have to do this, he should be able to do it without me taking them away. But I said no, there are other people in this situation that have it done as well. And I told him that I am so proud of him.
Kudos to anyone that actually read all that. But I just needed to say it somewhere.
Gosh, I'm so proud of him!! (:
