Anonymous asked: I need your help. Things at my house have been really stressful. My brother just got kicked out by my crazy mom. I never used to cut myself but after this happened I picked up a knife and now I have several deep wounds on my stomache. I don't want to mention it because I feel like I'm over it now. It's just something that happened in the past. I'm having a hard time hiding my stomache though. My sister and I often change together and at dance we usually don't cover our stomachs. What should I do

Darling, no person who is over something would continue to harm themselves. I think you need to be open and honest to yourself that this is hurting you, and it seems you are close to your sister, so it would be good to be open and honest to her about it too. How is your mom crazy? Sometimes we think people are crazy, but we can never really be too sure about their intentions. I’m sorry about your brother, I wish the best for him and for you as well. As for hiding your scars, it isn’t easy ( I know from experience) so talk to your sister about it; you might be surprised at how supportive she can be!
