Her relatives could never understand how you could be so
close to someone you only know through eMail and the rare
phone call.

Best explained to them as a friend who you can complain
about your family to without getting into trouble later..
B)

It could also be because another relative could spill the
trust-relationship to another relative ..and then, as you say
above - that could trigger divisions. Someone unrelated we
converse with (say one to one via email or even over the phone)
is less likely "to get involved" with the family members
directly.
