Re: How to tell parents I've been self-injuring? -

I'm glad to hear that you want to reach out to your dad!
Like it was already said, I think you should tell him what you're comfortable with telling him. I personally think it is better to tell parents the bare minimum at first because this is a lot to absorb and your dad is probably going to have a lot of questions as it is. I agree with telling him what he can do to help you, as well as the reasons why you self-harm. Perhaps you can tell him how long you've been doing it, too. I think providing him with some articles could be a good idea.
Let us know how it goes! 
If clarity's in death, then why won't this die?
Years of tearing down our banners, you and I
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first
The axe forgets, but the tree remembers
