If she /he is out of the family, should they be off the photo wall?
- 16 Replies
Unfortunately divorces happen & people have to walk away from our family at times. These individuals however have been captured in our family photos & may be displayed on walls, mantles, shelves, etc. in the homes of outside family members. Do you think they should be taken down or would you still continue to proudly display them?
*Clarification: I'm asking about pictures being displayed in other family members' homes, not the home of the original couple.
I sure have taken every picture of him and have ripped every picture of him that i have. But in her scrapbook im still deciding on what to do about pictures in there.....
my husband and i separated for a year before we got married, my mother in law kept all the pictures of me even when he moved on and got a new gf she threw me in her face.. lol...
we just needed a break at the end we ended up getting back together and year after got married
Well , it depends . I guess if divorced has been taken place , there's no reason you should keep the house picture , Because if u dont remove them now it might be Hard for you to forget.! but at the same time like i Just said it depends of how everything happen ?
If he is not ur enemy you can keep those memories , Save them pictures because memories are beautiful . But keep in mind is not healthy to keep those pictures HOME!
Even when Peter and I had separated for several years, he was still a part of my children. I never removed him from the photo albums or frames. He was still their family.
I meant in the homes of family members, not the home of the divorced couple.

Who is "her"? If you are referring to your daughter, I'd keep those for her to decide when the time is right.

How big of you to accept that he is still their family. That speaks volumes to them when they are old enough to understand the decision you made for them.

He ended up getting over his early mid-life crisis and he is now home, supporting the children and I. Now imagine when I was angry and hurt, I had tried to cut him out of the kids life subtly? I never wanted the children to feel I would do the same to them if they disappointed me. Know what I mean?
