6 months is an incredibly long time to go without self-harming, I hope you'll feel porud of yourself for managing to reach such a long period of time without! Remember that just because you've relapsed, it's never a problem either.

Your mum may not approach you for several reasons. Remember that she's just been given this huge piece of troubling information about her daughter, she may not yet be ready to confront you about what you're going through as much as you may expect her to. Alternatively she may be waiting for you to approach her first or she many not even know how yet to handle the situation so feels it's best brushed under the carpet until a later date.

Usually when you start counselling with a school they will discuss things with your parents if they feel the need to. There has to be a level of confidentiality where the person receiving counselling may not want their parents to know private things that have been discussed but the counsellor may feel it's necessary to tell your parents if she feels you're a danger to yourself and feels you may need further help.
