Don't be scared to tell your parents. They love you and want the best for you (I'm guessing). Otherwise, tell an adult you trust - like a teacher or a friend's parent. It is really important that you let an adult know.

You are not being a baby. Something like that could have left deep scars at any age. Seek professional counseling. If you can't afford it, perhaps Medicaid can. Also, if at all possible try for some group counseling with your parents to help you deal with the issue. \n    Hurt is hurt. It doesn't stop until you deal with it. I am not saying that you forget it, counseling would just help you deal with it better in a more rational and deliberate way.\n    My boys are having to deal with a lot of that same hurt right now so I better than most know where you are coming from. Children from broken homes just want a normal family. They want their life back that their parents stole from them. That is just the child's perspective I know but that's where you are coming from older now or not.\n    I will pray for you and hope that your terrible pain will eventually lessen someday.\n    Remember, hope springs eternal.\n\n                        Regards,\n                        Magicman

Oh Kirk - you need to get out of there as soon as you can.  You deserve better.  There is help and support out there. No one has the right to treat you like that.  Are there any agencies you could contact ? And please contact your mom or another close relative or someone you feel you can trust.  I guess you much feel totally alone and scared and adults have not exactly been a source of trust for you.  Believe me you need to get out.  I wish I could help  I truly do.  I am in Scotland.  I am not surprised that you feel so bad about your life.  IT IS NOT your fault please believe that.  Contact someone and get yourself to safety.

The things that have happened to you are terrible and of course it is abuse.  You really need a trusted adult to help you.  The fact that you were able to post on here means that you are ready to get the help you need.  I'm a licensed psychiatric social worker and I came from a really crappy upbringing too.  My dad was physically abusive and my mom was pretty depressed and didn't stop him.  I managed to get past the abuse and lead a productive life but even today, I remember the abuse and have to deal with the feelings surrounding it.  You are too young and your life is too precious to be lost in the cycle of child abuse.  The sooner you get help the more likely you are to move on successfully with your life.  You don't need your parents permission to seek counseling.  School counselors are an option.  I recognize that trusting adults right now is probably difficult and I'm sure you still love your parents to some extent.  What you need to understand is that if your parents are abusing or neglecting you, they are sick too and need help.  Right now you need to realize that you are worth saving and not all adults are bad.  Your life can and WILL get better.  I don't know where you live and what resources are available there but I would be happy to help you in anyway I can.  Please feel free to email me if you need more help or someone to talk to.  My email is jazzy_59602@yahoo.com.  Please stay safe and reach out to someone.

What you are feeling is quite common.  Your parents care about you and worry about you.  They know that you are going through some of the most difficult and turbulent years of your life right now and even though you may feel you are grown up, you still have a lot of maturing to do.  They know more about the dangers of the world than you do and they want you to be safe.  Show them how mature you can be by accepting their rules without a fuss and you might be surprised with the results.  Your parents will always be your parents and someday you will go to your mom and say, "I'm so sorry for the way I was and the hard time I gave you when I was 14 and 15."  My daughter did.

You need major counseling, guidance, support and possibly a medication regimen.  This is a from of self-mutilation.  It is serious, and if you do not get the approiate help, things will only increase in seriousness.  Please make an appointment with a mental health professional, or your private physician, he or she will be able to get you stated in the approiate treatment.  You need not feel you have to mutate and scar your on body.  Something is seriously wrong and you need help.  \nI appreciate the opportunity to address such a sensitive question, and I pray you seek help.

Go to a counsler a teacher a friend someone you can trust. Get out of there! Remember Jesus said we should love one another? Well abuse is not loving you. Find some family you can life with that are not like your parents! Please! and killing yourself..... suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem remember that!

Cutting yourself is not a good thing to do. I know at the time the inner pain is calmed by the physical pain but it is not the answer. Just think of the scars you'll have for a start. \nYou need to talk to some one about whatever problem you have. Don't bottle it up inside. \nWhen you feel the urge to cut yourself try this instead.\nGet an ice cube. Put it in your hand. Make a very tight fist. Keep squeezing till the urge passes.\nThis may sound like a silly suggestion but it worked for me.\nHope things look a little brighter for you soon petal. x x x

It's a scarey time.  Confide in a good friend if you can.  The most important thing to remember is that your parent's problems are in no way caused by anything you did or said or didn't do or say.  Try your best to stay out of the middle and don't let one try to turn you against the other.\n\nThere is nothing wrong in demanding to see a therapist if you feel you need to.\n\nMay God be with you.

Get wrist braces and/or a wrist support.  Sit properly at your desk.  Supposedly St. John's Wort helps, but I don't know if that's valid or not.  If it gets too horrible, there's surgery, but I'm sure that's not fun.

Listen, this is very serious. I'm a counselor, and your friend is in real danger of hurting herself. Take her very seriously. You are too young to handle  this. You need to talk to someone you trust, whether it be your parents or another adult. I'm sorry if I'm scaring you. There are counselors who can help her. There are suicide hot lines.Look in the phonebook. There should be a listing in the front under emergency services. The burden of this needs to be put in the hands of an adult. A part of what makes this serious is the Moms abuse issues. Your friend has probably been exposed to this all her life in some form or another. Who ever you choose to help, hopefully your parents, will talk to you, and guide you. Answer me back when you can. I'll look for your message. Use the heading, I found an adult to help. Good luck honey.

Ask your mother to sit down with you and talk to her.  Don't say "You", but do say "I feel".  Parents know we make mistakes but be sure to apologize, and be open to listen.    If you're to nervous to talk face to face and you're afraid  your mother will interrupt you and not let you get you point across then try writing her a letter.  Please though drop out "you", because we don't want your mother to feel like she's being attacked!

Cutting is an interesting action and one that causes great concern to a parent. I know kids that just outgrew the need.  If you have developedd the skills to cope without cutting yourself, it may be time to develope the skills to discuss this with your parents. You are the most important person to them and they are hovering because they do not want you to hurt yourself - just at the time in your life when you would like more freedom. So work on getting that trust and independence balance back. Start with a chat. But remember, you are not a renter in the house so you will not be ignored - you are a family member and need family interaction too.
