Hi Brave...

I know you didn't ask for me however I wanted to give you some insight on the cutting...

I do it myself and have done it for years...

I am trying very hard to overcome that and so far so good...

Your daughter does that to release the overwhelming emotions that are flooding her...

That isn't something that can be stopped overnight...

I have been in therapy for years...

It is a coping mechanism, not a good one however one that works for her at the moment...

As her Father, in order to help her cope, find ways to let her safely let go of the stress that she is experiencing or help her gain a greater understanding of the situation...

The best approach is to discover the deeper cause and address this, which will hopefully then result in the coping mechanism disappearing.

Now if only I could follow my own advice smile


May All Who Seek To Take My Life
Be Put To Shame And Confusion;
May All Who Desire My Ruin
Be Turned Back In Disgrace.
~Psalm 40:14~
