When Loving Annabelle was first released I began receiving hundreds of emails asking me for advice on various relationship, sexual topics and more sensitive matters like “How do I know if I’m gay?” “How do I tell my friends/family I’m gay?” As more and more of these letters came in I felt an obligation to respond somehow and that is when I began to brainstorm ideas of how I could offer positive assistance for these women. I felt an urge to react, and so that is when I came up with the idea for Ask Annabelle.
When putting together this site I knew that this would be a great place where I could turn the idea into a reality.
I hope you find help and comfort here and if nothing else, see that you are not alone. We all struggle with difficult circumstances and sometimes it’s easier to gain the lesson by learning from others experiences.
