In saying that yeah she was using cutting/ talk of suicide to manipulate you yes, she probably was. For whatever reason she was.

Unfortunately until you find out *why* she started cutting she may never stop. You probably know this, especially if you were a cutter.

It's easy to say I'll stop, I'll stop, not so easy to actually stop.

I swore months ago that I would no longer cut. That I would stop hurting myself because it was hurting my mum. Sad part is, I've told my mum in fights that I don't want to live. I've told her that she just doesn't get me.

I'm right, she doesn't. She doesn't understand why I cut, how good it feels. She doesn't understand that cutting is the way I let off steam, the way I let myself feel.

No one cuts themselves for no reason. What is your daughters? There has to be a reason, no matter how small hpw minor you think it is. There is always a reason.

Think I just played Devil's advocate.
