My mom destroyed a lot of pictures of my dad during their divorce….it sucks because I don’t have that many pictures of my dad now. But I can understand why she did it, I don’t need to keep any pictures of my ex’s (that’s what myspace is for). Every once in a while I’ll go through my notebooks and rip out any pages that I wrote on, I rip them up and throw them away, I don’t need my family members to know all the stupid things I have done, so I look at it as destroying the evidence.
