[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 651533, member: 1550"] She could have some attachment problems. Every time she gets attached to a father figure, he leaves. That can sometimes incite this sort of protective and self-destructive behavior. Cutting is serious and always indicates a problem. Often, although not always, it is because of sexual abuse. My oldest daughter used to cut. She was sexually abused. We didn't know about it until she was fourteen and it happened when she was eight, but her perpetrator told us that nobody would believe her if she told and that he'd come back and kill her and the rest of us. It happened while she was at a friend's house and this man was a visitor there. She was raped. So you never know. I hope it's not that. Hugs and just keep doing what you are doing. She is old enough to chose to or not to get help, but too young to let go, if that is your plan (we all react differently). You may want to read some stories on "Substance Abuse." That is probably her biggest issue right now. There are underlying issues that cause the drug use, but until the drug use stops, it's really impossible to address the other things. [/QUOTE]
