Sandi, Starsky, Bond, and another, thank you for your replies.

Starsky, transparent...yes. Whatever tI ask about the A she answers. Don't want to do it too much though.

Sandi, I believe it was my LRT. Since I set my boundaries I went silent and she noticed. I am still somewhat skeptical.

I found two MC that have good reviews. I showed W their portfolio and she was very into learning about each background. This shows me she cares. But don't want to get my hopes up.

Bond, yes I think you're right to put a time frame on initializing the steps to C. I will give her 2 weeks. I will let her be the one to move us towards C.

So how should I be during this phase of my M? It's scary knowing that the road ahead is still so unknown.
