Howdy, glad to hear from you again. Don't know what to really say about your friend except maybe practice the "Let Go and Let God"....he's running his life the way he wants and there's nothing you can do about it, so just try to distance yourself emotionally as much as you can. You arn't responsible for his well-being, as much as I know you care about him, that's his job and his mom's job.

Your job is to take care of you and YOUR family. Put you and them first and that's the best you can do. As for the cutting, I pray you are seeing a therapist these days. Are you still on meds? Perhaps the doc could prescribe something different to calm some of the anxiety that's probably causing the cutting to return?

love and hugs A&F,
Jenna
