Stiched up

By familyofpsychos - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States - Elkhorn

Today, I found a notebook my 12-year-old sister had been doodling in. Turns out the "doodles" were poems full of obscenities and descriptions of how she wanted to hurt herself. When I showed it to my mom, she accused me of writing the notebook myself to frame my sister. FML

Your mom is out of this world. This is not a thing to make jokes about.

she probably just blamed you because she wouldn't think a 12 year old girl would do that

I had a friend when I was 10 she cut her self twice that year . She told me and asked if I would check her wrist every week to look for cuts and I did . She cut herself the next year after we decided we could stop beacause she was feeling ok I then checked her wrist intill I moved . Kids do this all the time some like my friend are very real others want to fix in like my friends friend she likes pages on Facebook saying I'm emo deal with it and post pictures of her cuts to get attenchion op I think your sister is real and you should look at her wrist

I really hope your mother came to her senses and talked to your sister. Things like this are not meant to just be left alone. Your sister can really hurt herself or worse and your mother should want to prevent that more than anyone.

Exactly. Pushing the subject and addressing it would be better than attending the funeral of your little sister. That's a tender age and she's going through a lot of changes. Societal pressures reek havoc on a develop girl and she needs someone to validate her. Don't give up OP. Maybe express this to your mom. Bluntness may help.

Talk to your sister! Then decide on who is going to tell your mom. And for your mom, do you and your sister have the same handwriting.

Maybe all your sister wants is someone to talk to. Something like this should be taken care of, not posted on FML

It's really sad that she's only 12 and already has negative thoughts about her self and her life. That age is so crucial for a girl in terms of growing up. You should have talked to your sister first instead of tattling on her, as it could be interpreted. If she feels "outed" she won't trust you. Get to the root of things by being on her team. That one person she needs might be you.

Placing the burden of essentially healing her sister's depression on OP's shoulders is unacceptable. This is something a grown up like the mother or even a psychologist needs to deal with. Saying OP should fix it is like saying "go heal your uncle's cancer." Unrealistic and unacceptable. Also, I would rather have a sister who doesn't trust me because I told my mom she's struggling than a sister who is dead because I DIDN'T tell my mom.

Sometimes being approached by a sibling is a lot less confronting and frightening than being approached by a parent. Love and support from a sibling can be far more effective than by a parent. You just gotta find what's right for the person is question and what helps THEM.

That's awful! Why would your mom think that? You need to have a serious talk with your sister. Tell her she can talk to you about how she feels and maybe later your parents. Good luck OP! You better help her before everything goes wrong...

That's terrible! You should talk with your sister and try to work things out.

OP, your mom is clearly in denial. Maybe it's hard for her to admit that her child is in such an emotional distress and that she hadn't noticed. Maybe communication is not her strength and your sister does not feel like she can confide in her. Anyhow, I'm sure you understand how important it is that you talk to your sister about it. She might get angry at you or break down or both but this issue needs to be tackled down. Self-harming can be deadly. It's vital to understand where these thoughts come from and what triggered them before something really bad happens. Don't mind your mom. Do the right thing. Good luck.
