Claire15 answered Friday March 4 2005, 4:06 pm: I know how you feel, I always feel really guilty if I do something like that. I know your in a lot of trouble already but maybe it would be best if you were honest and just tell your mum. That way you would have one less thing to worry about and you would be able to stop your mum telling anyone else.
Alternatively, if you don't feel up to confessing to your mum, you could always tell your therapist about it and get her to tell your mum. They would be able to explain it in a nice way and you would therefore avoid most of your mum's anger.
If you keep it bottled up, it will just add to your problems and make you feel even worse. I hope you sort out all your problems, hope you feel much better. Best of luck

You should not have snooped in moms email.You wouldn't want her snooping in yours would ya?
The thing about mom's is this.If their kid has a problem,well, they kinda need to talk about it too.Us mom's are human!Please don't think about it like she was betraying you.It bothers her and she needs advice and support from her family and friends the same as you do.Okay?Might be something your therapist can help you with if still bothering you.

Notso answered Friday March 4 2005, 1:37 am: Your mum is probably having a hard time handling the fact that you cut. You cutting doesn't only affect you, it affects your friends, and family too. Your mom was probably talking to your aunt about it to help her cope. As soon as your mum gets a grip on it, she'll be able to help you get better. Forget about the emails, move on to thinking about getting better, and stay out of your mother's emails. How would you feel if she went through yours? [ Notso's advice column | Ask Notso A Question ]
