aw, jetblack...
sometimes having your attention directed to the scars does bring back some terrible memories, doesn't it?
(((((hugs))))) <--if you want them
your mom might be confused about what to do, and she might not understand the point of si behavior. it scares a lot of people, and they often do not know how to respond! (that doesn't mean it's an excuse for ignoring the pain of someone you love, though
