'Lady Jill' (aka tearinghair) here again, wearing (I hope) a more generous hat this week. Seeing my grandsons only every couple of years means that I’m not so aware as many of you of what a surprise...
I have a serious addiction to self harm. I began when I was 12 and at first it was only cutting. Now I am burning myself in the shower and at any taps I can find, I place flames onto my hand, I...
