Oh, I imagine it's tough raising two boys! lol I have many scars from my self inflicted wounds myself. Mostly on the insides of my arms and on my ankles, but have more all around on my body. When you feel like cutting, try looking at your scars and remember how even though it helped for a short time to ease the emotional pain, it didn't make it go away forever. Remember that by facing our problems head on as they come up, we are more likely to get rid of the problem. By holding our problems in and using cutting/burning to escape from the problems, we are only increasing the problems. Please think about it... Hope things start looking up for you soon.
