@taokat, thanks for asking. I have decided to leave the tattoos for now. I think it will serve as reminder to my daughter that actions have consequences. This may sound a bit baths, but frankly I am tired of fixing things to make my daughter's life easier. There is no appreciation for all that I do. I am spending a fortune on psychiatrist and psychiatrist fees. Buying clothes, getting her hair coloured and styled.
She has been nagging me for months for nose and lip piercing which I don't want to do. But she says she needs it to feel that she is showing her style and it will make her feel good about herself. I just don't know if she is taking advantage of my fear that she will try to commit suicide again. I only let her get her hair coloured black with blue streaks because of this. I think she is wanting to look goth-emo. She wears black nail polish and studded neck collars. Last time she had her hair coloured with pink streaks, she refused to go to school and tried to commit suicide. Back to school next week and I am anxious, will her newly coloured hair cause the same issue? Surely getting face piercing will only compound this.
I allowed her to get her ears pierced twice in the lobes and she pierced one ear another two times. She says pain is her friend. She wants to do those terrible piercings that makes holes in the ear lobes.
I feel I have lost control as a parent as I feel I have to give her whatever she wants (clothes,hair,piercings ) as she tells me it effects the way she feels about herself.
