Believe it or not, most cutters don't blame anyone else but themselves for what has happened to them to cause them to start the cutting. Why? Because most feel like they deserve everything they've experienced. If they've been abused, they get it in their heads that they did something to deserve it. If they're sick, they believe God is punishing them for something bad they've done. You could tell them that they've done nothing wrong as many times as you want, but it's not going to change anything. They're not going to believe you. They have permanently embedded that it's their fault into their brains. Another weird conclusion some self-harmers come to is that their scars are beautiful, every single one of them. Some see them as mile markers they've gotten past, and others view them as reminders that they have the power to hurt themselves whenever they please.
