Today I went to my moms house for a little while and I'm going to be there tomorrow and the whole week. But when we visited her today she told my dad this story about me, her, and my brother getting into a fight. And she only told the things I did not the things she did and she always does that, she always tell her story and everybody believes her because she's the parent and I'm the kid. When she finally ended the story I went to my room, I got a razor blade, and put it in my phone to hide it. I haven't told my therapist about me cutting or me thinking I have depression. And tomorrow I start a new school and I'm afraid if I wear sleeves my dad will get suspicious.

I'm sorry to hear that you and your mother don't get along. Alot of times people never suspect an adult to be the one acting childish which ends up just making you out to be the bad guy. As someone who spent most of their time in constantly turmoil with their parents, one of which doing things similar to what you're describing it's a very disheartening feeling.

It can be a scary thing voicing your feelings especially those of pain and self harm, but that's what your therapist is there for. I truly hope things improve for you dear.

Much Love

So it sounds like you don't live with your mom full time. When your mom starts 'story telling hour' then speak up and say, "umm no it didn't happen that way, you said this, then I said that, then etc. etc. etc." Make yourself heard, don't just let her run over you. If you want people to not think bad about you, you have to correct the person who's making you sound bad. Speak up. Don't be mean or rude or disrespectful, just simply tell the story in the truthful way. You have a voice, use it. As for the razor, throw it away. You have a Therapist, so you don't have an excuse for having to cut because you have no other way to deal with your problems. That's why we tend to self harm when we're young because we don't have any other way to deal with our problems...but you do. You have a Therapist to help you, to listen to you, to help you learn coping skills and tools to deal with your problems. You need to quit playing games with the Therapist and start being honest, because they can't help you until you are. Cutting is a dumb idea. I can say that to you because I started cutting when I was 12 or 13, because my father had been molesting me since I was 8 and my mother had been beating the hell out of me since forever, and I didn't know how else to deal with all of the hurt and fear and anger I had boiling inside of me....but now I'm 48 and I still cut. Cutting is more addicting than drugs or alcohol or both combined, once you start and get deep into it it's incredibly hard to stop. So you need to throw the razor away and start using the Therapist that you have to get the help that you need, you have a chance to stop doing the self harm and get help the right way.....quit ignoring that and throwing your life away.
