Ok, so I've been dealing with this for a while now. My mom passed away last December so I've been a bit fragile emotionally. I've felt depressed for a long time but losing Mom made it worse. I had an issue before she died where I was just so scared and overwhelmed that I turned to self-harm. My uncle noticed the scars and insisted that he would help me get therapy.
The problem with my uncle is... he's not a very sensitive guy. He tends to think he's right about everything and he'll call me all sorts of names if I don't do something the right way. If I have to admit it most of the harming came after he started helping me and Dad out after Mom died. I was asking him to look for my keys because he borrowed them to check the mail and I don't remember getting them back so I asked him to look. I said that I'd left my apartment open so I could get in and he started calling me dumb and an idiot. I'm at work struggling to not cry my eyes out and I don't have any sharp things on me thankfully. I'm trying to stop hurting myself and he's not helping me even if he says he is. I even drew butterflies on my arms. (look up the Butterfly method; I did and I'm gonna see if it works.)
