Mark, Just found your thread, sorry for your sit. I am earlier on in my S/D. My W is still in the house, but I have watched her pack up her things for the past couple weeks. She hasn't taken the pics of the kids off the wall or from the photo albums yet, but if she does I will certainly speak up. After all, they're my kids too!
As far as your wife wanting the frames, sounds like petty stuff. How can she not want the pics of her kids but cares about a few $ for frames. I'd give them to her - you'd have what really matters anyway, the images of those who you hold most dear.
I am working on GAL as we speak. My W has told me "that's it, its over". I'm not expecting any sort of reconciliation... ever. Its going to be her loss. Of course I swing back and forth at times but I'm more and more often in the "I'm going to find someone who loves me back" mode more often.
I spoke to an older woman 60-ish the other day who gave me some words of wisdom. She told me a story of when her marriage ended over 20 years ago. She had a conversation with someone at the time wondering how "Something so right could have ended up so wrong?". The other person, wisely stated "It was never right!"
I find that applies in my case the more I think about my R...
Keep up your spirit for you and your kids as best you can! Good luck
