" thanks everyone!!

marsiln, it's very sad that your baby is cutting. and i think that she should beat this for herself. tell her that you ar there to support her, and don't be afraid to come talk to you. but DON'T shadow her.
i'm very happy that you want to help her so much. my parents ignore that i did it, and choose not to see it, even when i told them straight to thier faces. and when i reached that 2 month goal, they didn't even notice. so, keep up with your daughter's dates. congradulater her when she makes a goal. and hug her when she doesn't.
don't ask too many questions.
don't pressure her to do something she doesn't want to, unless she get's really seriouly ill.
and, last, but ESPECIALLY not least. LOVE HER.
i know that was long. but it's exactly what i wished my parents had done for me.
good luck! keep me posted on how she's doing ok?

Halie, that's awomse! one and a half months! it's a lot longer than it sounds, and it took me about 6 or 7 tries just to make it that far! good job! and keep it up ok?

much love!
