Cathy: If I'd made albums as life went along, all these pictures of Irving and Alex would be in them......But I'm doing the albums now. Do I put Irving and Alex in them and enshrine our failed relationships as an honest part of my past? ...Or do I dump them and obliterate them from the record? Mom: DUMP THEM! PRETEND THEY NEVER HAPPENED! DUMP THEM ALL!! Cathy: Very sentimental... Mom: How many moments of personal power does the mother of a grown-up get?
I have an album of my first wedding — it’s a part of my life, why wouldn’t I keep it? My husband doesn’t feel threatened by any of it just as I don’t feel threatened by pics of his ex.Also why should Cathy’s Mom have power over her as a grown-up?
