I'll try to be quick. He's very easy to scare, and has problems with anxiety.Today I was bored on my PC searching for scary games on steam and eventually I ended up on a forum of some guys talking about this game called Sara is missing, good it was. I searched it up, downloaded it and started playing. This game is about using the phone of a girl who went missing and trying to find what happened to her through her messages, photos, mails, etc. At some part of the game a guy sends you a video and you have to see it. So, I open it and it was pretty lame jumpscare. My son started screaming and crying and begging me to stop it. He was behind me watching the whole thing, and I didn't knew. I didn't saw/heard him coming. I immediately jumped off my chair and closed the game. I apologized and tried to explain him it was justa lame game with lame jumpscares, but the image of the creepy girl on the jumpscare got stuck with him.I let him sleep with me on my bed but he was still scared. He told me his heart was beating very fast and when he tried to close his eyes he imagined the creepy woman. I came up with the solution of putting his favorite cartoon (steven universe) on my cellphone and making him close his eyes to imagine what was happening in the cartoon. It's 2:38 am and I finally put him to sleep but I'm afraid that if I sleep he would wake up in the later and get scared.What should I do? Should I take him to a psychologist? Should I check his heartbeat while sleeping (I'm afraid he's having nightmares). Should I be worried about him moving while sleeping? I feel so fucking stupid and guilty, I think I just fucked up his brain. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2sLUpmI
