Emma’s Need for Control

(If you are new to this blog, you may want to read the posts “In a Nutshell” or go to July and read “Sending out a Letter.” Both of these posts give a brief description of what happened. As Emma’s mom, I blogging my experiences with Emma and the things she did/does. This is a child who made up a story about rape, accused a priest of molesting her, and then as her attorney was about to file a lawsuit against the priest and the church, Emma accused her mother of physical abuse to stop the lawsuit because she knew her lies were about to be discovered. Emma is now attending Piedmont college in Demorest, Ga. She has been telling people she is engaged to Tyler Buchheim, an architecture student at Notre Dame University. Emma does not care who she hurts to get what she wants, and I hope Emma gets some help before she gets married.)

I have a stack of letters that Emma wrote to her friend “Lacey”, the on-line friend that Emma called her “best friend” whom she had never actually met in person and who Emma claimed was raped and tried to commit suicide. This young lady was kind enough to turn over all the documents from Emma. I will be posting these documents on the blog at a later date.
In one of the e-mails, Emma mentioned her need for being in control. This is almost ironic, as Emma called her mother a “control freak” and claimed I “micro-managed” her life. Part of the reason Emma turned so viciously on her mother was because by getting rid of her, Emma gained complete control. Her dad was on the road for several days a week, and what more could a teenage girl want than to be in control of the family home by getting mom out of the way and with dad being on the road? Dad had the purse strings, so she couldn’t get rid of him completely, but Emma could use him to her full advantage by getting rid of mom. It’s also ironic that Emma is thinking so much about marriage after she destroyed her parents marriage with her lies. But then, she got away with accusing an innocent man of sexually abusing her, so what’s a divorce in the grand scheme of things?

One of the things Emma took control over was her education. Emma went to Jackson County Comprehensive High School for 9th grade. At first she loved the school and the freedom, but then hated the school, exaggerated stories about drinking, drugs, sex, pregnancy, claimed that African American kids got preferential treatment, told stories about cross dressers, and claimed that her drama group was full of lesbians. She ended up throwing up so much, that we took her out during the 2nd semester, and she finished school on line. We decided to let her continue with on line school for 10th grade, and that was when she made up the rape and molestation stories. Emma never made any friends as JCCHS, and then after the molestation story, Emma became even more isolated, not attending church, youth group, etc., so we decided to put her in Jefferson High School for 11th grade. Again, Emma hated public school, and hated me for putting her there. When I would pick Emma up from school, I always had to wait for her, so if the weather was nice, I would put the windows down in the car. When Emma got into the car, she would not speak until either I put the windows up or we were out of earshot of the other kids whom she called, “The Creepers.” Emma wanted to start college early, but after I she pulled her little DFACS stunt, I told her that would not be happening and that she would be finishing 12th grade at Jefferson High School. Emma knew, by getting rid of her mother, she would be able to get out of the school she hated so much. She was able to start college, and her dad even got her a car (one of two that she totaled, I was told later). Emma was in full control. I will go into more detail about our experience with Jefferson High School (Jefferson, Ga.) later.

Stay tuned for Chapter Three which will be the story of Emma Accusing the Priest of Molesting Her, and I am also about to start an essay about Emma Getting Married. Below is a picture of Emma next to a cabinet that Phill got me for my 50th birthday. Emma was jealous of the money Phill spent on me and griped that I did not need and did not deserve the cabinet.
