Jim,
I feel that in todays society that we are ALL losing touch with people in general. We have become a world of technology. The personal aspect of daily life has been replaced with cam corder's, computers, video cams, telephones, and the like. We no longer have one on one conversations with a person. It's all done through technology. So I agree with your theory in part as to Evie wishing to communicate with you and Kathy via the forum....
No one sits down and handwrites letters anymore, it's all done through email. Personally I love email( I hate writing) We really don't spend time with our neighbors, we are "Talking" to someone in Japan.
Yes she is an adult, and you and Kathy really can't tell her what to do. I think that asking her to spend some time with you on a weekly basis may help her to be more open. You and Kathy are remarkable people, and Evie is lucky to have you. It will take time, and love, but I think she will be fine.
