[quote=Anonymous]I agree that you should let the teachers know and go from there. I think we used a family photo of all of us together for the first year. After that, it wasn't an issue anymore - my children are 8 and 9, and they haven't needed a family photo in years. As you move forward, you will get used to this, and it won't be as meaningful anymore. I am the type of person who kept my separation a secret from my closest friends for weeks because of my shame, and now I can honestly tell you that I hardly notice. School functions are terrible for me, but my ex is a lunatic, so I'm an exception. Everyone else who is divorced seems to do quite well. Soon, it will be your new normal, and you'll be focused on your child's overall health and happiness, and these things will fade. I promise. Good luck. It sounds like you've had a hard time in your marriage. I did too. But I got out, despite my initial shame over divorce, and I'm doing great. You will too.[/quote]
