Thanks Michelle. I read over all my messages today from you, Atlas and Nik. Questions for everyone (now you can see how I drove her crazy with all the questions):

1. Michelle - the horse analogy. How can I stimulate curiousity in her when we have no contact? How will she "hear" things? We really don't have any mutual friends. We are 30 miles apart, different cities in which we live, different cities in which we work, different friends, churches, shopping, everything.

Regarding a call or text on March 1st - which would you do, send a text, call on the phone or wait for her to call (I probably won't email, we don't typically communicate that way and hers is at work and she doesn't check it often, etc.)?

2. Saffie - What makes you think that the hope for her returning is small? Do you know of other lesbians who were questioning their identity (or their religious beliefs) and never returned?

3. Anyone - Is there a chance she will accept her sexual identity alone? I really don't see her going to a counselor for help.

Thank you all. You are all lifesavers. K
