This is strictly conjecture but what I think Tara was referencing in the email to MH's mom was the fact that M was dating an 18 year old girl and Tara didn't approve of the age difference and had threatened to go to the girl's family. I heard that is what Tara and M were arguing about prior to her disappearance. Since Tara and MH were broken up, she really should have stayed out of his business, IMO, as it just makes her look petty and controlling when her relationship with MH was over. Maybe as a teacher, she felt some responsibility toward this younger girl, I have no idea if her motive was to protect the girl, to keep MH's attention on herself at all costs, or if she was just so used to being all up in his business, she couldn't break the habit. I prefer to think the best of Tara and MH as far as their motives, but these emails to his mom does make Tara seem a little desperate and malipulative. I can't help wishing these emails had not become public, since we can't know all the background on the situation, and what happened to her was horrible enough without having her private messages dissected by people who don't know any of the involved parties. Including me.
