I had the same problem with my mother i just said its part of me and yes i would change it if i could but i cant. i would just tell him its your way of dealing with problems and ask him to help you through it instead of shouting,walking out, or ignoring you. just tell him how you feel even if it makes no sence

The way I think of my cutting is that I am addicted like an alcoholic is addicted to booze or a drug addict is addicted to drugs...I can't help it when the urge hits me and while I could try to fight it, it only gets worse so I give in...to me, cutting is better than drugs, better than alcohol because it makes me feel ok but without messing up my mind. I can cut and still function but couldn't when I was drinking or popping pills.
