They are just another part of your story. Just as much a part of you as all of the wonderful good things that I'm sure you have. If your daughter is anything like you, meaning a sensitive and intelligent woman, then she will show you compassion and understanding just as I'm sure you would show her. Instead of feeling shame with your scars, try and look at them of evidence of your journey. Evidence that you SURVIVED, evidence that you have felt true emotion, and evidence that you are strong enough to get through even the toughest of moments.

Trust me, I understand shame. I understand the guilt I'm sure you feel for causing your husband distress. But I hope that you can turn some of those compassionate thoughts towards yourself when you get the urge to cut. I know it's not easy.... and that it might seem like the hardest thing to do right now. But you ARE worth it. You have a family that loves and cares about you. Try and draw on their strength and love to get you through those times where you want to cut. You can do this.
