She has been very rude to me in the past, degrading almost, and then acts all happy go lucky the next minute. On the night of my grandfather's wake, I asked her where she was going to dinner afterward , and she muttered something completely inaudible while walking away from me. I was really astounded. So I never went w/family that night out for dinner- went to write his eulogy.

Recently however, I just feel they do not reciprocate ever contacting me first. At 18 I was contacting my older cousin, or whoever, when I wanted to see them , but they never have. I just feel like I 'should' continue b/c I'm their older cousin, but it just doesn't feel great. They have many monetary things I never had, they take trips, live on campus now, and it seems if I don't contact them they simply wouldn't... what would you do? less
