i don't know what your relationship with your mom is like... so all i can do is tell you how i would feel if i found out that one of my children cut... i would be really concerned... and it would worry me... but as a parent i need to tell you i would much rather know what is going on with my child then not knowing... even when i had a lot on my plate... i would never want my child to feel the pain i do when i cut... and i would want to get them whatever support they needed... just my 2 cents worth... like i said i don't know what your relationship is with your mom.... but i can tell you how i would feel even when my plate is full...lyn
