I don't know what to do, my sister tried to cut herself the other day. I can't help but wonder if it is all my fault. What if I exposed her to it?? I feel so bad. What if she picks up on all my other bad habits? I don't want her to do what I do.

As someone who looked up to my big sister, I can tell you that your sister probably looks up to you. But this isn't the same as it being your fault if she has problems too. Have you ever talked with her about hurting yourself? She needs to understand that it isn't a good thing to hurt yourself, and that there are people who can help her -- like you, other family members if they're supportive, a counselor at school.

I agree with Kalandra and remember everybody is responsible for their own actions. They are not responsible for abuse or trauma that drove them to the destructive behavior but for the behavior itself. Do not feel guilty. Take care of yourself and be a good role model that way.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
