Re: self harm because of abuse? help please? - October 6th 2014, 08:20 PM

Hey, there, welcome to Teen Help!

People react in certain ways to trauma, and yours is to begin cutting and to smoke. I'm sorry your mum walked away when you told her, but maybe it's because she couldn't believe what she was hearing? When an adult hear their significant other molested someone, whether it's a stranger or a relative, they react in different ways. Try to reach out to her, get her to listen to you. Also, don't be afraid to talk to someone about this. Punishing yourself by cutting and smoking won't help you in the long run. If you have any questions or need extra help, don't be afraid to ask any one of us on TeenHelp.

We want to see you be successful, make those who matter in your life proud of you.
