(((((((((((((((((jenn and daughter)))))))))))))))))))) Welcome to PC. Who to share your SI with is a very personal decision and I think you will come to what is right for you. SI is a destructive coping mechanism but yes it is a way to cope that all of us have used at times. Do you think it would be a good idea to have your daughter talk to someone about this? There are other ways to cope when under stress that are not so invasive on your body. At the same time it is so important to give her your love and understanding while she is healing. It is an such an isolating thing that knowing someone understands can be healing in itself. Just a thought.
