Thanks Michelle. You give me hope. I want to be happy and independent but I also hope she will one day return to me. Thanks for your advice. You people in California sure are good with psychology! Ha.
So do you think, like my shrink, that the religion thing is just an excuse to distance from me? He says the bottom line is she's unaccepting of her sexuality (like you said). Religion, our problems not getting along, etc. are all just "excuses."
What is your estimate of how long "her process" might take?
