My older daughter was a cutter for a few years. Therapy, etc. all of those things.
Her life is no longer chaos. Both her Father and I got help. It's not perfect, but at almost 17 she is doing much better.
My younger sister (we were raised in an alcoholic home) has to control everything. I try to be kind and tolerant because I know how hard it is. Control is her drug. I thank doG today that I don't have to live like that.
I really love the quote, Be Kind-you never know what someone is dealing with. Amen!
