moms reaction

By Girlineedofhelp Wednesday, October 19, 2011

i told them that i cut again. i told mom not to be angry but she was. just a bit. we got a bandaid thats big enough but it's already starting to fall off. imma use the heavy duty clear tape to hold it on haha. but the thing that worries me is this: she told me that if i cut again, i can't see my best frined on christmas in person. if i cut after that, i wont see her in real on easter. and after that, she will spank me like a little baby. she doesn't understant... lets just hope the councelor can explain it to her... i can't stop. and i fear ill mark the next time im left home alone. i wanna go with them and i will from now on. thats all. oh my real dad understands me and says mom doesn't understand. my step dad follows my mom so... yeah.

The Controversial Death of Meriweather Lewis

Hi there

 

I think that maybe your mom does not know what to do.  If you were in her position how would you respond if your daughter were cutting herself? It is obvious that she wants you to stop but doesn't know how to get you to do this. 

 

The question is...what sort of response are you seeking from your parents?  Can you get help without the cutting? 

 

You are right...it just takes a slip and you can do some real damage to yourself and also leave permanent scars. 

 

Are you ready to stop cutting? 

 

Please do let your counselor know about this incident. 

 

Keep writing and sharing.  We are here to listen.

Hi, I agree with MerelyMe in that I think your Mum just wants to help you and doesn't know what to do, so she has decided to try and give incentive to make you stop cutting. Of course it does not work that way - you have to want to stop (and in that I think you need to ask yourself why you cut yourself? How does it help you? Is there any other way to get this help through other methods?). What does your councellor say about the cutting? I hope you find it in you to look for other ways to deal with your stress, and that you don't miss out on seeing your friend.
