She wouldn't let you keep them in your room? That's odd...
I could keep them in my room, but not have one in bed. I know now it was some warped projection of her own issues, but at the time it just felt hurtful.

What if you were to give her a stuffed animal to keep for you for a time, and then give it back to you? Would that avoid the guilt, but accomplish a similar purpose? You could buy one on-line if there's no opportunity to go out shopping.
