Tina--from what I understand about cutting, this is exactly it--the cutting behavior demonstrates control. It's perhaps the one thing in your life you feel you can dictate/manipulate (not in the negative sense--just in the sense that we want to be able to control what's happening in our lives). I know that might oversimply your exact situation, but this is just what I've read and observed based on my own experience.
I think you've initiated (or re-started) an important conversation.
