[QUOTE="Josie, post: 115544, member: 1792"] Thanks everyone. It's all good advice. The real problem is I am scared to let her play it again. She is obsessed with animals, even pretend ones, and can't stand for anything bad to happen to them. She can't even throw away a napkin with an animal on it or watch me do it. We were working on this in therapy until she got sick. I am afraid she will not be able to stop playing with this "cat" when it is time. She really could have hurt herself when she was raging. It was that bad. Somehow I don't think I can bring myself to play the game and get the cat happy when she is done playing just so she can play. Some parents of kids with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) end up involved in their rituals just to keep the peace. So far this hasn't happened to me but I do not want to start down that path. Obviously, I would have done that last night if I had known what would happen, but it is not something I want to do on a regular basis. I might let her try again after her psychiatrist appointment on Wed., depending on what he thinks about all this. Her psychiatrist is also her therapist. [/QUOTE]
