[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 223699, member: 1991"] Actually, I see a positive thing about this - he is expressing his feelings and acting them out, instead of burying the feelings. That is healthy. PLus, he's acting it out almost comically with his dolls, which is actually a release from tension and a healthy way to handle any residual feelings. If he REALLY intended something, he's less likely to be this open about it. So I wouldn't be too concerned by it, but I do agree - tell the doctor at the next opportunity. While I'm not saying you shouldn't be concerned, I think an approach of cautious optimism is better. If you let him see any anxious fluster over this, it makes him MORE aware of any power he might have and he could then learn to deliberately manipulate with threats. NOT good. Sometimes it's like walking a tightrope. Marg [/QUOTE]
