I had the same issue with my mother. But sometimes I'd get up in the middle of the night and get one of my stuffed animals anyway. If I didn't wake up early enough and put it back before she woke me in the morning, she'd go ballistic when she saw it, but the comfort was worth the punishment. They were my friends, so I understand the emotional tie. I think it's why I take care of the ferals now, even though it costs so much, and I don't tame them as much as I could because I'm only here temporarily.
My mom would guilt me whenever I got a stuffed animal because I had so many. I just loved having them to hold at night. If T gave me one, I'd probably feel guilty again like I am too old to have this, she spend money on me that I didn't deserve, I am ungrateful for feeling guilty etc

She wouldn't let you keep them in your room? That's odd...
