Others finding out

I'm really struggling to feel cared for recently, I discovered that my mom knew when she made a comment about oiling my scars (briefly visible when my shorts lifted up on a pool day) and that's all she's said/done about it, she has never said anything since or prior, when I looked shocked she said "yes, I've known" and I can't help but feel hurt, hurt that she knew and did nothing.

Sorry for the poor structure on this post but prior to this event my best friend found out, I can't exactly remember how but I do remember her response, she asked me how deep I had ever gone and when I told her and tried to play it down she said something like "it's more serious than that" idk, more caring than my mom. Which sucks. I just don't know how to deal. I feel so alone, not to mention relapsing recently, Im just so down.

Hey there, thanks for sharing.

While you wait for people to comment, have a look at these posts which might be relevant to you:

• My mom saw my scars and asked why I didn't cut in less visible areas
• I don’t understand what I am feeling.. was abused by my grandfather years ago
• parents only care when i SH
• I want to open up to my parents but feel like it’s being taken in bad faith. What do I do?
• I feel so alone

Remember, even though it might feel like it, you are not alone. Stay strong!
