[QUOTE="sandrainde, post: 40398, member: 3594"] i did get some sleep, thanks to allergy pills. see i thought the same thing you did. on her feelings- and wondered if she just said that to pasify her step-mum and dad. years ago, i spoke to her about my experience. honestly i did not feel bad, explaining it. it was when we were speaking about emo kids. i tried to explain to her at the time that some people dont cut for "just attention" that some people do self-harm because that is the only way they can feel anything. especially after dealing with issues. your body will become numb and that is just how some people cope. however that coping that way IS NOT healthy- so if you or any of your friends feel that way- you should really speak to an adult. this was i think around 3 years ago. i think that conversation is still in the back of my mind, when i found this all out. maybe she did do it for attention- but she also did it because that is how she feels. i plan on speaking to her this week, but normally wait until weekends to chat due to time change and their activities in school. i think i am seeing it more from my experience thru her eyes maybe. she is normally really truthful with me- so i am going to ask. she broke down to me once before on her feelings about being compared to her brother. which in turn i had to tell my exH to knock it off- she gets it. in my humble opinion that is a form of emotional abuse- i dont stand for that. one thing that i stress to my daughter and son that "they are a good person, to love themselves and to remember that momma loves them" it is our thing- especially with my daughter she would repeat it to me after we get done talking on the phone. i think it is time to have the why that phrase is so important speech.
