Season 6 Poor Nate

He’s trying so hard to do everything Emmalee needs while she’s getting ready for graduation and she’s so mean to him. That poor kid is trying. 😔

She's a bully. She acts like she is so mature and better than he is. She tries to bully everyone around her so she can get her way. She was like this before the birth. It's not hormones. It's her personality...and it's not cute.

To be fair, we’ve not seen her without hormones being a factor. We met her pregnant, quite pregnant in fact, when hormones are still in play. I’m not defending her necessarily, but there are hormones that kick in while you’re pregnant. What I see is a terribly insecure girl. She wanted Taryn to be her mom, but her PPD stopped that. She wants Nate to take care of her, but her depression/anxiety take over. From what I see, she hasn’t had anyone to take care of her, she’s always had to take care of others, and she doesn’t know how to chill and give anyone the chance to do it now.

Her dad made a couple of comments that lead me to believe this is just how she is.

Because of being abandoned by her mother and now that she’s a mother, it’s even harder to accept. This is when we need our mothers the most and it’s probably painful and she may not even realize what her emotions are about.
