Maybe you could explore why you still feel sorry for telling?

Oh, btw, when I told my sisters about it (both are younger than me), the first one I told admitted me that she was a cutter, too, and had been for a LOT longer than I had. I don't know whether or not she still is. The other one, I told her BECAUSE she cut herself and I wanted to let her know I knew where she was coming from and I was there for her and loved her, and she didn't need to do it, she could confide in me. Her story was that she only did it for attention from her friends because one of them did it, too. But there were other scars that looked way too suspicious to have been "accidents" like she was telling everyone. I think she was into burning, too. I find it interesting that all three of the girls ended up cutting, though none of us knew about eachother until later. I don't know of my brother cutting or anything, but he has other self-destructive behaviors. So 3 out of 4 of us ended up doing it.

Anyway, I got derailed off topic! Sorry about that.

I do hope you can work through your feelings about this, Candy.

One question- are you the only one that your parents abused? Or does everyone just not talk about the abuse? Just curious
