How do we deal with this?
She's been cutting superficially for a few months with a razor. Not deep, not needing stitches. School know and are supportive. Counselling in the pipeline. She continues doing it and showing me afterwards, for attention I guess. Tonight she had about 20 marks across her forearm and cried herself to sleep. She doesn't fit in she says. She's fat and ugly.
After she fell asleep I looked through her phone to see if someone had upset her on social media. I looked at her web history - she's been looking at porn. Loads of it. All types of it. I feel sick, angry, upset, worried, ashamed, sad and embarrassed. What do I do now? She'll be so embarrassed if I talk to her about it and may do something even worse than cutting herself. Should I talk to school? What can they do?
I'm lost. Advice welcome.
