Hey, y'all. I truly hope everyone is doing well and that everyone who celebrates had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
          	I lost someone extremely important to me on Monday, October 14th. Two days later, while I'm making calls and arrangements I get a call from an old childhood friend I haven't spoken to in years - she informs me without warning that Liam Payne has been found deceased. She had no other information to offer, no one did at the time, and still, now there are several unknowns and more questions than answers - but one thing we know for sure right now is that he has been laid to rest, and somehow the world is still spinning with his absence. I write this to say a few things: 1. Please know how loved you are. Please. I always check my messages, and will always offer a listening ear to anyone that needs it. 2. The world needs you. I need you. You need you. Sometimes the biggest support system you have is the one you offer yourself. Be kind to yourself. 3. A small fact about me that I kept hidden from even those closest to me is my struggle with sobriety. I went through a lot of things as a child that I wouldn't wish on anyone - and my first taste of adulthood welcomed any and all escape from that with substances and alcohol. I got clean April 1, 2021. Liam did an interview June of that year saying he was sober - without knowing, my idol and I had gotten clean together. When he relapsed later that year it broke my heart, but I still supported everything he did. Liam was my favorite, he is still my favorite. I will write again, I will always give him the happy ending he deserved, and I will forever continue to fight for justice to know what happened in that God Forsaken hotel. 
          	I will be back, I promise. I love you all, I've seen your comments, and read your messages. Stay kind. ~Emma

Hi Emma, I hope that you are doing ok. I was wondering when you are going to post the redo of forced family. I know that alot has been going on but I hope that it is going to be soon. Also happy Thanksgiving if you live in the states!  Take care  peace joy and love joy almond

The first FOUR chapters are written, edited, and ready to be published in the Forced Family Rewrite! I'm so excited, I plan to have the first book finished either this month or next So I can put all my time and energy into re-writing the second book, and then the third. It's making me fall in love with my baby all over again. Losing the second book sucked, I won't deny that, but it is giving me the chance to fix plot holes, story lines, etc. Thank you for the patience, all my love, Emma :)

One more thing, I am excited to hear that you are going to rewrite forced family.  It is one of my favorite series that I have ever read. Also you know there are other sites that you can publish your work.  Take care

I’ve gotten my long awaited answer from Wattpad, nothing can be done, there is nothing to be done. This sucks, it’s unfair, and I’m devastated that my work is gone. To those reading it, wanting to read it, etc. I am so sorry I didn’t keep an additional copy. Rest assured, going forward anything I publish will have a backup just in case. 
          On a brighter note, I read Forced Family 2 in May. I wrote it, but I needed a refresher - it was 60 chapters after all. Saying this, I wasn’t fully happy with every chapter, and even considered rewriting the entire series. I guess this is my sign. 
          Once Submit is finished, I will rewrite and republish all the Forced Family books in order. 
          There is light at the end of every dark tunnel, and even in devastating news, there can often be a silver lining. This looks small, and compared to everything else happening in the world right now, this is minuscule. I know that. I’ll be back soon, all my love, Emma :)

Hi all. If you haven’t noticed, Forced Family 2 is gone. I don’t know where it went, it was deleted. This was my fourth story, deleted. I took a long break from writing, as it’s absolutely crushing that a story that took two years to write and publish - it fully deleted and only certain chapters are saved in other places. I’m crushed, and even more so upset that it’s happened to a few other stories of mine that aren’t even published yet. I don’t know when I’ll be back, as for now I’m terrified even posting on here because another story could be deleted, and I genuinely love everything I write. I enjoy writing. I’m heartbroken the stories are disappearing, and as you can imagine it’s making wanting to write anything further - undesirable. I love you all, Emma :)

Same thing happened to me (different account, different type of story) in April. Nothing was restored, no begging helped.
            
            Take a break, I know how devastating it is xx
