The fact that you are here--alive and striving to be better--that is justice because you are surviving. They wanted you to be beaten and you aren't. Yes, you cut--you cut to survive. You cut but you didn't die. Absolutely arguing and slamming your door and playing music loud is normal teenager behavior, but if you weren't with a normal, healthy family, then they wouldn't see your behavior as normal.

It's good that you can recognize that if you continue this way it will be right back to the beginning. The next step is to stop it. If you want to share what you talk about here with your team, print some of the posts out. Sometimes it's easier to have things written out and then discuss them.

You can keep going forward, sweety. One small small step at a time. Anytime you need me, you know where I am.
