[QUOTE="ryzgal, post: 372072"] interesting, thanks for sharing my son has a hard time with different things. he had a very very very hard time with nazis and hitler specifically. for a very long time he obsessed on it and he couldn't get the thought out of his head that he was going to grow up to be a killer because to him hitler was the worst person he could think of, and if he had thoughts of him, then in his mind that meant he must "like" him and therefore was going to "be" him. It makes no logical sense, but in his head, that's how it works out. It was very difficult. At school, he couldn't hear that part of history without it causing all sorts of anxiety that manifested in odd ways, that of course no one knew anything about (which for awhile, neither did we). When 9/11 happened, it was very traumatic. At that time, my son was very obsessed with being poisoned, hurt, killed etc anyway, so this was a whole new thing being thrown into the mix. One day we were playing a video game and the game died. He jumped up and immediately asked 'is there a killer on the roof coming to get us?'. He had equated the game dying, with the power going out, and that to him equated to someone (a killer) coming to get us. It must be very scary to be in that head somedays. :sad-very: Right now, he excels at learning history. I have explained that the only way to not fear something is to learn everything about it, so he really trys hard to do that. I wish we could apply that to other aspects in our lives right now! Hugs Stac FYI side note- my sons thoughts used to be "what if" as in what if I suddenly went crazy and did violent things, but now he gets upset and thinks I want to punch mom, dad, sis etc in the face...very frightening indeed [/QUOTE]
