The two people who were supposed too support you..

[alley]

So, I don't know if anyone saw my post a while back, but I was thinking of telling my parents about my self-harm. Now, I have done. Both their reactions were very different.
My dad was upset, but useless, he didn't suggest any possible solutions and simply said he was 'very worried about me'. He sort of tried too pretend it wasn't going on, and when I asked him for help he came accross as not knowing what too do at all; and being completely weak. Not what I need. I need someone too help me..
My mum, well, she went mad. She yelled, and said 'it's stupid too go down that route!' which caused me too go 'it's nothing. it's nothing.' whilst in tears, as I didn't want too be yelled at anymore, or argue.

What I've gathered from this, my parents don't care. If they did they would do something. Instead they can't accept it, and they're trying too pretend like it doesn't exsist, when actually this is so real for me. I told them a year ago, and a similar thing happened.
The two people who are supposed too support you don't give a shit. They yell at you, or completely fall too pieces. I can't cope. I don't know what too do, my parents know but don't care, my friends know but don't help too much, I have no solution. Looks like i'm going too be doing this forever.
I feel so ashamed, all the confidence I had too build up too tell my parents again after their last reaction being 'I don't care'. Well a years gone by, and it hasn't fucking changed.

Alley, Sometimes parents don't know how to react to there child harming themselves. I can't say they do or dont care cause well i dont know them but chances are they do. They just dont know what to do so they think yelling might work. You need to understand they are going to yell and you need to sit them down and explain to them completely that you need help.

I have no support from my parents, this was my choice and how I wanted it. But if you do want support, as you seem to. Maybe you could print some fact sheets or information sit down with them and explain to overcome this you need their help.

As for your dad not knowing what to do, it's not his fault. Self harm isn't something parents expect, if you want help maybe ask him to take you to the doctor?

Meh I know how you feel. A long time ago my mom found out and flipped shit at me. To make matters worse she told like half my family, and then they told the rest. Family gatherings are really awkward now. Most parents don't know how to react to something like this though, they think that if they yell at you, you will stop. Most don't understand why you do it, and that them yelling makes it worse. And don't say you don't have anybody, you have all of us from VT. Make friends with some of the good members here and you'll have somebody to talk to. I met a really good friend from here and because of her talking to me and helping me I haven't self harmed in months ( would be years, but I do relapse every few months )

okay I don't know if this will seem weird or help at all...here are some quotes from a childrens book. Dr Seuss in fact...they're actually amazingly insightful

All alone! Whether you like it or not, alone is something you'll be quite a lot


I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me.

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go..

just sit down and tell them exactly how you feel, try not to yell........ You just have to try, if they know how you feel. But I can assure you they do care, they just dont quite know how to react. Its like if you hear news you dont want to hear, your brain automatically doesnt accept it to be true, it ignores it. So try telling her again. x
