So, I have this friend and he has a daughter who is 11 years old. Their family life is a little hellish, specifically our friend (her dad) has a drinking problem. Yesterday, while we were hanging out, he got so drunk that he stopped making any sense and his daughter was clearly upset. There have been multiple times in the past where she's been upset and it just goes over his head entirely.

I saw a cut on her arm yesterday. I'm almost certain it was self-inflicted. I was a cutter myself for a very long time (and still battle with it), I've seen many other types of self-inflicted cuts thanks to years in hospitals and treatment centers.. Am I just being pretentious in thinking this is for-sure a cut?

With all of the pieces put in place with what I know of her and her home life, it seems entirely plausible and I feel so much pain for her. I feel like I'm watching myself at that age, we're a lot alike. I don't know what to do, if I could help.. What... What should I do..?
