I just recently found out that someone very close to me is cutting - we found this out thru a counselor - they stated that they did not want us to talk to this 13 years old girl because she wants to work on their communications the child promised that she would not do it again - but who can be sure. Her parents are going thru a very nasty divorce - she lives with her mother but they have never gotten along - her father is trying to get her but the court system is so slow - what can we do as adults to help her out or should we just follow what the counselor is asking of us?
Very confused, frustrated and want to do what ever I can - I'm not the parent - but a grandmother (very close grandma) she showed me her arms this weekend and I honestly didn't even think of what it could have been but - she had gone 4 wheelen the day before and crashed so I thought it was from some bush. I feel she was looking for me to notice and I didn't - what can I do - I think my son is trying to do the right thing - I'm just not sure that we should just leave this to the counselor what are your thoughts. I believe she is in the early stages - if that possible - I just know that when her mom takes her phone, friend and yells at her - this is when she is doing it! Please help she's a great child - what can I do?
