Copa, this is one time I think you and M. should confront her together to give you your pictures back. They are yours and rightfully should be passed along to your son. What does SHE need t hem for?
As I've said before, in my 30's, when I was first rejecting my FOO, especially mother and sister during the first cut off, I tossed all my picture books until my teen years into the garbage can. I didn't mind being in pictures. I just hated the people who were in the pictures with me, except, at the time, my brother, who I still don't hate.
As for those quotes, I loved them. All of them. Much to ponder in every single one regarding our FOO. What a wise, wise man.
