I've found this morning all evidence that my 11yo is probably cutting.
I'm devastated to say the least. I knew there was always a very good chance that my kids would inherent my MH issues I just didn't expect it this young.
We are not the ideal happy home & I know my kids pick up on this. I have a lot of my own issues, but I guess they see my unhappiness.
I've called my DD therapist waiting to hear from her & how to handle this. Figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I did cutting myself so I can understand her pain...if that's what she's doing. I'm 99% sure.
I'm nervous to tell my hubby Bec he doesn't understand. He doesn't understand my MH issues how would he understand hers. And his normal reaction is anger.

I'm not in a good place to handle this. I'm not strong & solid like she needs. I know some will say it's time to put my issues to the side & focus on my family. I need to suck it up & be a mom to her.
But what example am I showing her that she needs to hide away & hurt herself.

Please if any other parent has dealt with this please tell me how you handled it.
Thank you.
