I think we also need to bear in mind that David and MM were parents for mere minutes before the curse hit and Emma went through the wardrobe. The next time they see her she's a 28 year old woman  - that's got to be a difficult transition! How do you turn into parent mode, esp dad mode, when your daughter is the same age, if not older, than yourself!! Emma's an emotional recluse and she's tough so it's got to be difficult for a dad to come in and try to protect her - I think it's a bit easier for MM as she's been Emma's friend but David wasn't.
