Max,

I'm sorry that your mother is like that. Mine didn't see any reason to let me have help either, and I've been paying for it for my whole life. I'm working on it now.

There are reasons why we resort to cutting, and just telling you to stop is not the answer. But you know that, don't you? I hope you talk to someone - a school counselor is a good choice, and tell them that you need therapy and need some help getting it. Assuming, of course, that you have asked your parents to let you go to therapy. Parents do feel threatened by problems like this, because they tend to feel blamed for it (by themselves if nobody else), and it's easier to convince themselves that the problem ought to go away, or it isn't really that bad, than it is to admit that something is wrong and something needs to change.

I sure hope that you can get them to listen, and that you can get some help.
