Thank you AAAAA

Well, it's a support site for anxiety. She provides support. But daily communication about things like getting her hair done, cleaning closets with a caretaker (her nearly 100 year old mother lives with her), giving her cat a bath, travelling, business concerns, her birthday, etc... I think her being on the site IS to provide support but we became closer than that. In addition recent things I said made her believe that my corresponding with her was taking the place of IRL friendships so she felt she needed to end our online friendship; and I think she realized she had stepped outside her own boundaries and needed to re-establish them.

Thanks so much for understanding.. for the 'walks like a duck' analogy
