[QUOTE="slsh, post: 403887, member: 8"] Apparently on right wrist per SW, who did see it. She wears a thick leather band on her wrist so it's hidden. Could be other places, which is one of my concerns. Used scissors, which have now been removed from her room. Realistically though, she could use anything at this point - we haven't locked up knives since 2000. Still have locking tool box if needed. I'm assuming SW would have told me if they required medical attn - I have to admit, I was dumb-struck during most of the conversation. Plan is I will take her out to dinner this evening and try to get her to talk. I am not telling her SW called (at SW's request, which I respect). Hopefully I'll get an idea of if she's really "irrational" or what... trying to psychiatric myself up for it, because I'm sure it will be one long kvetch session about how horrible her life is, what lousy parents she has, how we don't let her do anything, how we're ruining her life, blah blah blah blah. Moment of undiluted self-pity - I cannot believe that just as thank you turns into a fairly rational human being and is a real joy to be around, Diva loses it. I'm trying to deal with my feelings about having Boo home 24/7 for the rest of my life and I'm trying really hard to hold it together, less than successfully. I have got to find the fortitude to be therapeutic mom again for my girl. I just really don't want to do this again. What we want and what we get are 2 completely different things. OK, pity-party over. It's pointless to dwell. Things are what they are... [/QUOTE]
