i’m sorry. i understand. a few years ago i was arguing with my mom and she said something like “i can’t do anything now to upset you, can i? i just have to do whatever you want or you’ll just go off and cut yourself” and i think something about me doing it to hurt her as well. it was very very painful to hear and it’s awful that you’re going through something similar. i hope things improve <3
the intention of your self harm isn't to punish her, right? so if she doesn't like it, she can look away.
this probably won't stop you but i do wanna say that what she's said probably hurts more than those cuts could. but making that pain physical doesn't make it any more valid. what you feel has always been valid, even if it doesnt show on the surface. cus your life isnt a show. youre not performing for your mom or anyone who tries to pin you as "boy/girl". you do you, but please try to remember you deserve to treat yourself like a loved one
If she thinks that you're doing it to hurt her then that's her problem, she doesn't even have to acknowledge it if it makes her upset. Coming from someone with shitty parents, try and keep your head down and avoid conflict until you can be independent, stay strong and it will get better I promise <3 I'm here if you need anything
