Emma and the children of her “Other Mother.” Derek and Johnathan McCravy. You can read about Emma’s other mother, Sandi (Sandra Brooks McCravy) in the June 18 post below.

Updated July 22, 2013
One of Emma’s (Emma Roey, Emma Kate Roey, Emma Katherine Roey) more recent claims is that her mother was POISONING her. She claims to have the toxicology report that she and her dad had done. I can assure you, dear readers, that my attorney is anxiously waiting on this report since I will be facing criminal charges at that point. Actually, I am deliberately leaving out exactly what Emma claims to have poisoned with, and I will write more about this topic at a later date. Emma made a big mistake when she picked her poison (pun intended).

Emma also says she had to move to Ohio to get away from her mother, who is dangerous. This would be the same mother she has not seen in over two years. More likely, as a psychologist explained to me when Emma started with this, “I was an abused child” nonsense, Emma needed a new audience. Emma is now on her 3rd college, and as people figure her out, she will keep moving around. There were too many people in Georgia who were on to Emma. She didn’t last long at Piedmont College (Demorest Ga.) and I have to wonder if while living in the dorm, were the other kids figuring her out? Before Emma even went to off to college, someone mentioned to me that dorms can be brutal, kids are smart, and Emma would not be able to pull the kind of stuff of that she had already.

Another thing the psychologist told me was that if i wasn’t around, Emma would find someone else to turn on, and it sounds like this is already occurring with Emma turning on her boyfriend’s family. Some of the stories she is telling about them have gotten back to me. I have not met T. or his parents, but I’m seriously doubting some of the things I’ve heard that Emma is saying about them.

Emma talks about getting married soon. As a mother, of course it is very painful not to be in my daughter’s life, not included in her wedding plans, etc., but I also know how sad this whole thing is. How can a child who has caused so much destruction be ready to take on something as serious as marriage. I feel for T. and his family and I hate to think of the pain she will bring them, but as a parent, I understand that Emma is 19 and going to do whatever she is going to do. You have to let go, and let your children go out on their own. My situation was a little different because I didn’t let go, but was thrown out of my home, but still, Emma has to live with the consequences of her actions. Sooner or later, she will have to quit blaming others for her own faults and mistakes.

As for marriage, well, around the time Emma accused the priest of sexually molesting her, she was also interested in becoming an emancipated minor. What teen doesn’t want to leave their parents’ home and not have to follow the rules. That is not unusual.
I had had a friend, several years before, who had been an emancipated minor, and Emma brought it up many times, asking me about it. Emma often told me that she could do that, get her own place and take care of herself. I would tell her how lucky she was that she didn’t have to, and I think it took Emma a while to realize that being independent meant getting a job, paying the bills, and not having a daddy who did all that for you. Emma went to great extremes to get her independence but still be financially supported by her daddy. She wanted her independence, but didn’t want the hard work and responsibility that went along with it. Now, this child who wanted so badly to be independent, wants to get married at the age of 19.

I have been receiving information about Emma from friends of hers and/or her dad. Some people have just wanted to fill me in on things Emma has said, some people have wanted to give me their stories of their dealings with Emma, and many of you have wanted to ask me some questions. I am happy to answer any questions, so please continue to write and/or call. I will be addressing some of these questions on the blog as well.

Many of you have been great armchair therapists, sending me your thoughts and information. One close friend had even made many of the same predictions that the psychologist made, and was definitely much better at reading Emma than the local therapists we took her to. I have a lot to write about Emma and these “professionals”. One social worker told me that 4 out of 5 therapists aren’t worth their salt, and from our experiences, I definitely believe that’s true.

Pathological lying? Narcissistic Personality Disorder? Borderline Personality? BiPolar? You all have provided me with some interesting reading. So…………if I’m not in jail with an attempted murder charge, I will keep posting. If I am in jail, just call to find out the visitors’ hours. I’m sure I’ll be ready for some company.
