[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 228130, member: 2423"] klmno, I think he's cutting today because he's upset that you called the police last night. That's not to say you shouldn't have -- you did the right thing -- but this is his maladaptive coping mechanism for dealing with a pretty traumatic event, even if he didn't show you he was upset by it last night. I'm not sure I completley understand your logic behind questioning whether this is delusional thinking. I will tell you this: Very few 13-year-olds accept responsibility for their own actions. It is age-appropriate and part of the maturation process, which is just beginning at that age. We as adults have years of experiences that shape our thinking; 13-year-olds just don't have that. Think about what you knew at age 13 and compare that to what you know now. Vast difference. I hope that helps somewhat. [/QUOTE]
