My oldest has known for a while I think but my younger one (7) knows as well now.
It stops me doing something worse if I’m honest. I’ve no choice but to be here for my kids but there’s precious little in it for me most of the time.
I don’t smoke or drink or anything and I’m a reasonable parent, I hope.
My youngest has just come in the kitchen and tried to get me to go into the living room and I know it’s because she’s worried I’m going to harm myself.
I keep the injuries covered and I’ve only needed medical attention once when it got infected. They aren’t life threatening or anything like that.
but I’m worried about the damage to my dc and also if it would flag any safeguarding concerns if they go to school and disclose I am harming.
