That's great about the 4 day milestone, Max. I read in someone else's post that their therapist suggested using a red marker instead when the cutting urge hits. I thought that was a pretty good idea. It's a horrible habit and the sooner you can wean yourself off it, the better off you'll be.

"Living well is the best revenge". No matter what happens with your dad, remember to always take the higher road. It's not his fault if you do bad things -- but it's not to his credit if you do good things, either -- you'll get the blame or the credit for either... so take the higher road and be proud of yourself for doing so.

I'm glad things are relatively smooth right now -- hope they stay that way. What grade are you in, anyway?
