Hi I'm 13 and I don't know how to hide my cuts from my parents anymore. I've told my mom that I've wanted to kill myself multiple times but she doesn't know that I cut. There's about 100 on each arm from my wrist to the middle of my forearm and it's really obvious. My dad has asked about before and I just told him that my cat scratched me. Just to let you know my dad is gay and divorced my mom for this total jerk who hates me more than anything. He abuses my dog because he knows its slowly killing me. I'm afraid that my mom will find out and tell him and that my life will get even more messed up. My best friend knows and helps me get through the days but I don think that my dads will understand. Someone please help!
Hey there what is happening to you is awefull you need to let people know how much yyour dad hurts you. There are free anaymous hotlines you can call also arnt there any trusted adults/teachers you can talk to? Its not fair for you to go through this and its not fair for your friend to have to get put through all the stress of dealing with you alone.....
Thnx for the advice. My mom found out today and at first she was really mad and said that I might go to a mental hospital. She's gonna tell my dad tommorow or Friday though so wish me luck. It's so nice to actually be able to someone who doesn't lecture and criticize me. My mom has been much more supportive now though and realized that I'm emo after all the hints that I've been giving her. She supports me but she hates that I cut. She just doesn't understand that it's sorta an addiction and that it's like impossible to stop once you start. But thank you for the advice!
