Re: My dad found out about my self harm scars - January 5th 2017, 12:01 PM

Hey there,

Firstly, if you aren't actively self harming any longer I doubt a hospital would take you. The fact is that they have to keep their beds open for people who are actively hurting themselves or plan on hurting themselves. Since you haven't self harmed in a few months the hospital would likely tell your dad that you should be placed in therapy and then send you guys home.

Is there are reason you are worried about getting sent to the hospital? Would you be open to going to therapy?

Personally I think you should tell your dad what is going on. I know that is a scary thing to do but it sounds like he cares about you and would want to know about this so that he can help you through it. In all reality it really isn't that awkward to acknowledge your self harm to friends and family.

I hope this helped and I am wishing you the best of luck.
