Pictures from the Past |
| |
Question: I am divorced with two children, ages 11 and 9. I have a question to ask you. In your seminar you mention that it is important to allow the children to have pictures of their past in their home or rooms. Should the pictures be with the children and their mom or with me included. I am being sensitive to the fact that it is difficult for my future wife to see me in those pictures. My thought is to have pictures in their room with just them and their mother. If so, how do I take them down and replace them with other pictures. What are your thoughts?
Answer: Ideally you shouldn't dictate what kind of pictures the kids choose to put up. I know it's hard for your new wife to see you in a picture with your ex-wife, but to be honest, she looks at the fruit of that union every day (the kids!). I know it's difficult, but being a stepparent means accepting that someone came before you.
