RSG, I agree with CT on the pic thing. It's a personal choice, but hat you need to ask your self is you won't do a family pic because you want to show her you aren't a family, or have you thought maybe it would be a nice thing for S?
My ex and I take a pic together with her on her bday. Since her 3rd birthday we made the decision it was just going to be the 3 of us On her actual birthday. That is not for everyone. But it took us 2 of her birthdays to get there. We were separated before her first birthday.
My D also asked for a pic of the 3 of us framed in her room. In the 6 months of her life we were together we had professional pics done. She has it in her room.
You are a great dad an it really does take some time to learn to toe the line from feeling like you are giving your ex what she wants vs. thinking about what might benefit the kid the most. I know it took me a while.
my D turns 9 on tuesday. Virgos all over the place!
