It's great you've gone so far without urges(: 6 months is great... I can't even go a day without thinking about it >.<
I'm sorry to hear about your parents... that's what's sorta going on for me right now too, and it can be pretty stressful. I really hope that turns out alright.
Anyway- maybe you could find something to do instead of cutting. You've already gone 6 months without urges, so maybe just the incentive of having more time on that log could help. Is there someone you could talk to about what's going on in your life? That could help a bit too. Personally, I find that listening to music or going for a walk helps at times. It just sorta gives me a release.
Another thing I've heard helps is wearing a rubber band around your arm to snap, or holding an ice cube to your skin. (Just be careful with the rubber band though... to not break skin with it.) The ice cube causes enough pain for some people to prevent them from cutting, but it also doesn't really do harm.
So, hope you're able to make it through without harming. And good luck(:

Those six months tell me that you are commited to healing. There are always going to be dillemas in our life that will make us relapse. We have to have the courage to skip past them, we have to fight and overlook them. I know it's tough, but think about that six month accomplishment. Don't throw it out the window. You don't need the blades to sort this out. Calm yourself down. Let's talk about this more. Having parental issues must also be tough. You might think as though the blades are your ticket out, but they aren't. Let's find an alternative method to this problem, and if need be, let's discuss this more. We are here for you, we don't want you to give into the blades.
