Just a warning, I would be careful with bringing up bipolar disorder, etc; Sometime ago, not in here, of course, I was jumped on for bringing up bipolar disorder and how it causes some people to become violent. Some people who are bipolar think, that just because they don't become violent, it doesn't make other people violent, either.
Do we know the mental illness, that Emily was suffering from... besides, narcissistic personality disorder, and some form of psychopathic personality disorder, and being an addict.
I am wondering if Emily had ever gotten a break from being a stay-at-home person? (Not going to use the word parent). I know that being a stay-at-home person causes people to develop depression and anxiety. Raising kids, and pretty much raising them alone, puts a toll on a person's psyche.
