If you are not ready for a face to face could you write her a letter? There are many on this board who would help/read the letter before you send it to help you as well as calm your fears.
Being a teenager is such a tough time for any child and is a turning point for the rest of their life. I went through a period of being 'madly in love then slamming the door shut to be the one to leave first', I knew I was doing it each time, yet could not stop and believe it to be adoption related...the first to leave meant I would not be abandoned and hurt...it was a vicious cycle that took far to long to stop.
Some contact to you is what she is asking for. I would also guess that it is you not her conception that is the driving force...I would have given anything to meet my mother but I would not have wanted to leave my family...just meet my mother.
I hope you can find the strength to reach out in some way.
Kind regards,
Dickons
