Your ex has many tools at his or her disposal to push you away from and out of your child’s life.
One of the small but telling ways is to deny any pictures of you in your kid’s room at your ex’s. Why would they do this?
Simple. “Out of sight; out of mind.”
Your ex is making a pointed attempt to keep the child from thinking of you. Looking at a picture instills warm feelings towards that person, but your ex does not want the child to feel these feelings towards you.
Think about how tragic this is. The parent is deliberately taking away a memory of the other parent from the child.
While it may seem on the surface like it’s not that big of a deal, it actually is. If your kid has other pics in his room (and you can be sure the other parent is in one or more of them), but you’re not in any of them, you can be sure your ex is up to this sad and subtle brainwashing technique.
Not allowing pics of you anywhere is ywr another tool for bitter ex’s to help pass their dislike or even hatred of you — despite your being one of the two top people of importance in their life– onto the child.
