My mom was/is? a cutter. and sometimes, I don't understand why she does it, but I know that SHE feels like she has to. And it helps to see it from the other side of the fence, because, sometimes, from this side, I can't see the reason and the hurt that she feels, because all I see is the hurt and the pain that it causes ME when she does it.
So, thank you for posting that. It reminded me to not judge, and to understand that she's hurting too.
