well, mom now knows about the scars on my upper arm (which are deep styros and barely baby beans) and oh yay.
she seems these as "too far" (she thinks some should've had stitches. like no? they weren't deep enough for that)
i had to explain to her that I don't care how this affects others (like, you're not being physically cut into so like, why should it matter how it affects you? emotionally? try again, I don't care about that)
I had to "promise" not to do that deep again (I will) <-but will have to be careful because I dont want to be strip-searched.
downside, I have some deep ones on my forearm and near wrist that she doesn't know (that might cause a strip-search if she sees those, which fucks me over because my thighs are the worst place)
