[quote=Anonymous]	My parents are still together, so take this for whatever you think it's worth. 
First, no way would I agree to family dinners, not at this time and not every week. What he wants and suggests doesn't matter anymore. These dinners sound like a level of hell to me. If my husband "left the marriage with no communication" as you say, the only things I'd want are to make sure I get what I am legally entitled to get, and that my kids are protected finantially and as emotionally as I can. No way would I sit at a table with him and chat to create the illution of family. It'd be too painful for me, I know this, and there is nothing wrong with saying it.

As for the pictures, I'd keep them. You don't need to pour lovingly over them, but you don't want to destroy part of your history and the history of your children, at least not right now. If you talk to people who have lost their homes, as in physically lost their homes, all of them say that what they miss most are their pictures.  I wouldn't destroy something you can't replace, no matter how shitty your ex probably is. Again, I wouldn't display them, and I wouldn't make the kids sit down and look at them, but I would still keep them.
