I used to cut, too. Tomorrow makes it eight weeks since I last did. And I'm telling both of you not to hurt yourselves that way. Nothing good can ever come of it. Not only are you hurting yourself, but you're hurting everyone around you. And don't try to fool yourself into thinking they don't know... because they do. And it's killing them.
