"He asked me if there was anything I wanted from the house, and I told him I wanted the photographs of my children when they were young, which I had sent to my mother over the years. I suggested he send them to my daughter in New York, as she will be coming to visit me in a few months and can bring them. My brother mailed the pictures, and my daughter opened the package."
"She claims they are hers. I say they are not. She was only meant to be a messenger to bring them to me. I offered to make copies or to scan them and email them to her. She is now not speaking to me. Who is right, and what should I do? PICTURE-LESS IN ISRAEL DEAR PICTURE-LESS: You are right. As you stated, the pictures could have been copied for your daughters if they wished."
A woman living overseas asked her brother to send childhood photographs she had given their mother. The brother mailed the pictures to the woman's daughter in New York, and the daughter opened the package and kept the photos she appeared in, claiming ownership. The mother offered to copy or scan the photos for her daughters but remains estranged from the daughter who kept images. Another correspondent describes a long contentious relationship with a father, attempts at regular contact that ended in fights, a refusal of counseling, and the father telling relatives untrue versions of events while involving siblings.
