[QUOTE="pigless, post: 9329, member: 228"] Hi, Masta. It's good to hear an update on your difficult child even if it isn't the best news. She is working, right? How long has she worked at her current job? Considering her past behaviors, I think that's a big step. Personally, I put cutting in the same category with other self-harming behaviors like drinking alcohol excessively, taking drugs and taking physical risks. Some young people are able to skip these activities but most try at least one of them. She's 18; I'd let her handle the cutting issue. I'm thinking that the more you protest, the more she will need to cut. This is a personal outlet for her and she will find a way to let go of it when she is ready. [/QUOTE]
