Hi,
I think that the relationships that Emily shared with most of her family members did not worked out as what she has planned. This is probably due to the fact that she has this lust for control and power which accounts for her dominnering behaviour which in turns deteoriates the condition of the relationships she shared with her family members.
For example she shared strong ties with her husband and children at the begining of the play. However, her domineering behaviour restricted Richard's life too much and Richard commited suicide due to this. Similarly, her domineering behaviour also cost Kheong's life too. What's more, Kheong even refused to see her on his deathbed, showing how he hated her to the core.
At the end of the play, all her children left her to stay in places which are far away from her, thus showing thier dislike towards her restrictions.
However, not all the relationships that Emily had were bad. The only one that did not deteoriate was the one that she shared with Bee Choo. She had helped Bee Choo in many ways and thus strengthened the bond. Another reason to why this relationship was so good might be because Emily did not interact with Bee Choo for long periods of time, this has thus reduced friction in the relationship.
Cheers, Keith Goh 2A13

For Emily's relationship between her and Kheong, I feel it was never good since the start. Emily was being married into the family and she has never met Kheong before, similar to blind matchmaking. It is very hard for one to develop feelings for one person whom you have never met before and now you are together with him/her. I believe the relationship between them started to deteorate when they had their children. Since the birth of Richard and after he grew up and started studying, Emily began her dominative spree. She wanted the best for him and while doing so, she "made" Richard listen to her opinions and ideas and wanted him to do as she wanted it to be. What Emily does here is slowly seen as she does the same to Kheong, perhaps maybe she feels she will always be right and can be a "leader" for Kheong or that she just wants to have a greater feeling of controlling others. As for Bee Choo and Emily's relationship, Emily often talks to Bee Choo and Bee Choo is a recurring character in the play. Since no other character appears in the play, we can assume Bee Choo is Emily's closest friend and one person Emily trust and can talk to without any problems. Like when Bee Choo went over to her house for a party or something, she lowered her voice to tell Bee Choo about Diana. Relationship problems is rarely told to anyone so I think Bee Choo is trusted and close to Emily enough for Emily to tell her that.

In the beginning of the play, Emily shared a rather close relationship with her son, Richard. When she calls her 20-year-old son "big, strong, sonny", he responds with "strong son, beautiful mother"; thus showing the close relationship between Emily and Richard as they flatter each other. However, towards the later part of the play, the relationship between Emily and Richard gets worse as Emily tries to make Richard comply with her decision to continue his university education and give up his career in the stable. In the end, Richard commits suicide.
