How would you feel...? what would you say to your own child, if you found them cutting? I have two children, and I am a cutter, so I feel like I can pose this question in an effert to remind us just what it feels like to our loved ones who find out we cut.
If I found my son or daughter cutting, as their mother I would want to "fix" things for them so they would never want to hurt themselve again.
I would bring them to a counselor, I would ask them how I could help them? But I DO know that I would hurt for them and feel terrible that they were in so much pain.
It would NOT be ok, I would not be able to JUST leave it alone would you?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
But if i found out any of my (future because i dont have any)children were cutting I would of course feel pain for them. I think i would be in a better position to help them though because i will have been there and can show them what the end result (scaringand th like) is and do they really want that. then i would try to help them in any way to find a more productive outlet for their pain and frustration and hurt. Of course I would help them get counselling too.
