(If you are new to this blog, you may want to read the posts “In a Nutshell” or go to July 2012 and read “Sending out a Letter.” Both of these posts give a brief description of what happened. As Emma’s mom, I am 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 living in Liberty Township, Ohio at the home of her fiance’s (Tyler Buchheim, a student a Notre Dame) grandparents, Albert and Merrie Knopp, attending Wright State University, and talking about getting married. Emma claims her mother poisoned her with DDT and that she had to move to Ohio to get away from her mother. She also claims her future mother-in-law, Sherry Knopp Buchheim, lives in fear that Emma’s mother will show up and kill her entire family.)

I keep wanting to get back to Emma’s story, but have very little time to write. I’m trying to work on what happened after she first told us she was “molested” and will get into all the experiences we had with Emma and therapy, but while I have a minute, I just wanted to share that I received an e-mail from Emma’s future mother-in-law, and she said she is NOT afraid I am going to show up and kill her whole family. I wonder why Emma would be telling people that? Does it just sound good? I forgot to ask Sherry some of the other things Emma said about Tyler’s family, but I will get to that later. I do have to admit, several of my friends have found the DDT story and the thought of me killing a whole family kind of humorous.

Also, several people have asked me about the Protective Order that Phill took out. I will be happy to share that, and will publish it here. I just have to get it scanned into the computer and write up that part of the story as well.

Emma and Kayla 2005

We probably don’t need to read any more of Emma’s lies, but I’ve been compiling a list of stories Emma told over the years about a close friend of Emma’s since 2003. Emma told some great stories about this young woman, her mother, her grandparents, and even her then boyfriend’s family. Looking back now, I’m trying to understand why Emma would tell these tales about her friend and her family. These people were all very good to Emma, so it just doesn’t make sense to me.

Thanks for your support. More to come……………
