    morning all, hope everyone is feeling better day.
    i have an awful headache, my own fault, drank loads of cider last night, i've been so good with cutting down til this week, but it did help me sleep,
    the reason i had so much to drink, was i felt so low last night and so very ashamed of myself, wanted to SH again, but knew that would make things at home a thousand times worse right now.

    hate myself so much for what i've done, so ashamed and so upset.
    if my sons hadnt seen the scars from the SH i doubt he would have done what he did yesterday :mad:

    he only 13 and cut both of his arms, whan i spoke to him, he said it was cos he was angry and upset, and if it helped mum, then it would help him.
    crying as i type this, hurts so much, to know its my fault he did something like that

    big hugs all

    Didn't sleep till 5am, our son stank the house out with strong cooking smells and I hate them at the best of times.

    He got a bar job in the pub in our village which should keep him busy.

    Not a nice day here - cloudy for the last two days.

    Still feel low about my OH, I can't bring myself to be nice to him, I am keeping away from him rather than having a row.
    An average day in my life:hello: :eek::mad: :coffee::coffee::coffee::T :o :rotfl: :rotfl: :p :eek::mad: :beer:

    Shaz,

    I am so sorry to hear what's been going on with you.
    Maybe you should explain to DS that SH is a trap that it is far better not starting (liken it to smoking, drugs etc).
    But whatever you do, don't take it on yourself as another thing to be guilty for. Nip it in the bud and be proud for helping your son.
    Take Care girlie

    Don't blame yourself, ever. This is an illness, and an addiction to coping.
    he only 13 and cut both of his arms, whan i spoke to him, he said it was cos he was angry and upset, and if it helped mum, then it would help him.

    I'm so sorry this has happened. Honestly, I think you need to sit him down and have a proper conversation. Obviously he has seen your scars, and now he needs to know what is going on, so hopefully he won't go down the same route. Don't avoid it, beacuse it'll make the situation more awkward.
