Mom just found out

[Kitten_]

My mom found out about my cutting.
She didn't freak out or beg me to stop or start crying, she just said she was concerned and that she was there for me and asked me how I felt but I could tell she was battling anger.
I feel like crying my eyes out right now and I don't know what to do. This is supposed to be the kind of thing that only happened in nightmares. It was supposed to be secret, and I tried so fucking hard to keep it that way.
I couldn't lie and I told her I don't want to stop, and that I won't.
I can't do this.

I really need some support. D:

Maybe you should talk to your mom. If she wants to help you, I think it could be a good thing.

Talk with your mom, explain her why you cut help her understand. Even if she got angry she acted in a decent way, most of the parents just freak out.

Talk to her about it, tell her why you cut. Parents are there too help

You know either of my parents finding out is the last thing I'd want, but it's probably for the best. The way she reacted is very encouraging. But I know how awful this is for you being exposed. She knows about it, she reacted well, you came clean. It's really pretty much a done deal. All you can really do is take it forwards.

She seems to have taken it quite well to be honest, if you have no interest in stopping then nothing is going to make you stop. I'm sure she wasn't angry at you, she's probably hurt, I wouldn't panic yourself too much over it, you never know it might turn out to be good that she knows, but at the end of the day she knows now and nothing is going to change that but that doesn't mean it's the end of the world, try and work towards recovery, I know you don't want to stop but carrying on isn't going to help you in any way shape or form :hug3:
