My 4-Year-Old Daughter Started Drawing Dark Pictures after

   
 

When her daughter exhibits unusual behavior, Jennifer questions everything. Eventually, Emma tells her the truth — that she found a box of her father’s secrets.

 

My daughter, Emma, has always been the rainbow child, wearing the brightest colors and drawing unicorns and butterflies.

But recently, there has been a change in her behavior. She’s been withdrawn, hasn’t been eating properly, and always wants to sit outside.

 

At first, I didn’t think much about it because Emma constantly goes through phases. But then, her teacher, Mrs Silverton, called me in for a parent-teacher meeting.

She was just in kindergarten, but the school prided itself on checking in with parents.
