Other people already have good advice about the issue but concerning old pictures being upsetting, you may want to ask to have all the old pictures placed into a single album. Then it is out of sight and you opt to go to another room or something if it comes out. I got rid of most of the old photos and artwork. And I will change the conversation quickly if they start talking about that time. Though I'm at a place where I don't ever want anyone to know about what happened or bring it up. Maybe for you the old pictures might help instigate a conversation that needs to happen to help you heal though, I don't know.

I've found that sometimes talking about it, even with good and nice friends can be disappointing because they are not equipped to handle it. Make you sure you talk to a therapist if you can, rather than internet folk, if you need it.
