I also don't intend to provoke any sort of judgment against the daughter... we don't know her or the situation, and especially under the circumstances, being the community that this is, i don't want to any way at all imply that any sort of self injury shouldn't be taken seriously or that it is only a plea for attention or manipulation. We here know that isn't true, but i just presented the idea as a possibility in the context of helping somebody figure out what might be going on especially since this is obviously a complex situation with a lot of factors. even if i am right or partially right it is clearly not a simple situation with the girl getting her way with the mother.

i guess that is mostly a "disclaimer" since it is a sensitive topic.
