I'm sorry that your daughter is in so much pain she feels the need to do that  ... however, it is SO good that she feels comfortable enough letting you know. That sure says something about you

as said above, it is so good she can trust you and open up to you, and tell you. Even when my parents found out I SI (after a decade of covering it up) I still cannot talk to them about it. Occasionally my mother will ask me outright and I can't even admit to her then that I am SIing...I don't even have to hide it from them- I live 1000km away (!!) but I just have major trust issues with my mother and not such a close relationship. I hope that you and your daughter can work through this, again she is lucky to have you by her side.

((((((((((((((((((katheryn))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) I am sorry that your daughter is struggling so much right now. It is great that she trusts you enough to share with you. It must have been very painful for her to write and you to read but I am sure it is beneficial to you both. I hope that with both of you working together that she can start to heal.

I'm glad your daughter is seeking support from her parents, but I know how difficult that must be for you to see her doing it and not know how to help. I'm glad she's seeing a T. Hugs and love you and Dec.

I am glad she feels able to admit it to you, and that you reacted appropriately. There are few things more isolating than somebody reacting violently to a 'confession'. It is good that she trusts you enough. Admitting feelings is a risky business.

That must be so difficult to know that your daughter is in so much pain-- but amazing that she reached out like that. Have you spoken with her about it since? Maybe she would like you to ask her what she would like from you in order to help her. I remember when I first started cutting, my mother knew, but she basically chose to ignore and deny the entire thing. That really hurt. I would have liked for her to ask me how she could help. I hope things get better for you and your daughter.

i dont know how much help i can be to my daughter other than being here for her, as she gets very angry at the moment
also her friends in school are telling her to stop i now you cant but these are ppl the same age as her they dont all know about mental health issues so i told her the best thing is if she has to cut keep it out of view her councillour told her to always use a clean sharp whatever and to have something to help stop the bleeding not sure if any of us are doing this right
