It may be horrible...

I'm going through all of DH pictures so that we can salvage them from their disintegrating album. I offered to take care of it because it is such tedious work, but I think when I'm done I'm going to make my own personal copies of all the photos with BM just for the sheer pleasure of ripping them to shreds. Go ahead, tell me I'm horrible.

    Eh whatever works, the only pictures we have of Bmom are ones right after she delivered SS. She has like three inches of black roots with bleach blond hair and looks miserable. Not that I will look that good after delivery but I kinda smile that those are the pics we have of her in our albums. That's my evil confession

    Speaking from experience . . . another fun thing is to light them up and watch her face bubble up and then shrivel into ash . . . did this with all pictures of my ex (we had no kids). Let the catharsis begin!
    And i'm shaken then i'm still. When your eyes meet mine, i lose simple skills. Like to tell you all i want is now. Anniversary Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

    We've packed and unpacked twice in two years (from one state to another then from one house to another when we started getting foreclosure notices on our rental).  Each time, I've come across a box of BM's stuff that DH still has and needs to send her.  It has letter jacket letters, birthday cards, etc.  It also has pictures of her alone and them together - before SS.  I've thought of "losing" it a few times as a form of therapeutic release.  I haven't, though.  I actually just found that stupid box AGAIN while cleaning out our spare room for the nursery.  It's in a "send now" pile.  

    She recently told DH that she regrets her choices because he was the best thing she ever had.  He's tempted to send it with a note that says "so you can remember when your life was good."  Of course, he never would as I never would "lose it."  But, it's a fun thought.  

    Now you've seen my vindictive side.

    DH had gotten rid of most pics of BM before we even started dating, but during the two times I helped him move since then we got rid of all but one - one of them as a "family" when the kids were really young (this will be offered to the kids when they're older). I've never been okay with (serious) boyfriends hanging on to stuff from their exes. If you're with me, especially if we're married, you should be forgetting about them, not looking at old pics to remember them! Just my opinion. And as far as the SK's go, their mom is still alive and they see her all the time. It's not like we need to hang on to pics of her so they have something to remember her by.
