writes:HiMy ex-husband and I separated 2 years ago. We have been divorced for over 18 months. I have a new boyfriend - we have been together about 6 months and things are very serious. But:My mother still keeps photos of my wedding and ex-husband up in her flat. She doesn't think it's inappropriate. She says it is part of her past, like having a picture of me as a baby on the wall.How do I argue against this? I know it's inappropriate, but I actually don't know why? What's going to make her see things differently?To add to it, she also has a photo of myself and my new boyfried on the wall!Thanks for any suggestions on how to approach this.

 Have you told her how you feel? She may be looking at these pictures as part of your history, the creation of the daughter she knows and loves. It may have never entered her mind that this is troublesome for you ...
It's her home, but if you respectfully explain that what she's doing makes you uncomfortable, she'll have to make a choice. Give her the opportunity.
