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.” My daughter Emma Katherine Roey lied about a friend being raped and attempting suicide, claimed to have been molested by a priest, and then, just as her attorneys were about to file a law suit, Emma accused her mother (me) of physically abusing her and later of poisoning her with DDT. Emma claimed to have a toxicology report to confirm that her mother (me, again!) poisoned her, but would never turn over this report to my attorney. If you read through the blog, you will find many other examples of Emma’s lying. At one point, she even complained about the way her dad touched her and that he called her a “bitch” and a “slut” everyday. (I refused to listen to her when she talked about her dad like that.) As long as Emma continues with the lies, I will tell her story. Love and thaks to all of you who read and have written to me. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me at: losingemma@gmail.com Please continue to share the blog with others.

As many of you already know, I am undergoing surgery to repair two broken bones from an accident that occurred a week ago. It has been a long, painful week, and I am looking forward to being on the road to healing and getting back to my life. I will be out of work for at least 6 weeks, so I should be able to get the “Letters to Laura” section complete, and maybe more. And it will all be done with my left hand!

I have been truly blessed by my family, friends, and co-workers who have been there for me during this difficult time. My neighbor was with me at the hospital after the accident, my sister was with me at the dr’s and through surgery, a coworker drove 20+ miles out of her way, one way, to take me to a July 4th party. A friend took me out for dinner and margaritas the night before surgery, and my hairdresser has provided me with free shampoos while I am recovering. Several neighbors whom I didn’t really think I knew, but who knew me because they see me walking my dog, have stopped me to ask how I am and if I need anything.

It will be slow going until I regain the use of my right hand. Thank you for your support.
