Dear wishingstar, Thank you for your eloquent explanation. That is sort of what I thought it would be like but never knew. I do know that when my daughter did this it was to alleviate a greater pain. And, I would do anything to have not had her had the pain. But, since things are as they are, I am SO glad you called your therapist. I didn't mean you should put it to your therapist as "you see me or I cut." That does sound manipulative and you are very wise to see that and brave to not indulge in it. The important thing is that she knows about your cutting. Hopefully, that will be enough for her to reach out to you. Hey, that's their job! Thanks for what you said about my daughter; I truly hope that is in the past for her but, regardless, there is nothing she could do that would make me love her any less. She is still the same beautiful person as you also seem to be although I realize I don't know you as well (a little joke). I don't mean in any way to minimalize your pain and lack of family support. Life can be difficult but there are the good parts, too. Hang on.
