I don't have any experience with cutting up old photos, but I surely know what the pain is like of wanting to do anything - ANYTHING - to make some of my past GO AWAY. As of a couple months ago there are NO photos of my parents visible in my home. I had it with the feelings I got when I walked past them... I mean I'd be sitting there watching TV at nite and "those people" would be looking across the room at me. NO MORE!! So they're packed away. Didn't erase the memories of the past, but at least I took a step to be more COMFORTABLE in my own home. Just be careful you don't do something you can't come back from.

Take care of yourself!
