I gave my first unhappy marriage album to my eldest daughter she appreciated it.

After a busy week decorating bedrooms and having a big clear out I came upon my wedding album of 1978. It survived the test of time but sadly the husband didn't ( I was traded in for a new model some 13 years ago now). In my early grief I remember I was once going to throw the thing in the North Sea but was persuaded by a SIL to hold onto my history. I am now happily remarried to a lovely man and staring at this album in front of me now holds nothing but bad memories, as my ex was always a bit of a 'Jack the Lad' type character and it took the discovery of his affair to finally remove my blinkers. Question is what should I do with this album? What have others done with them when they have been in a similar situation to me? Is it now time for it to be thrown into the depths of the sea or will my adult children see it as their history too, to be retained?
