Okay. So this is a bit of a long story so just hang in there with me because I really need help i don't know what to do.
I am close to my cousin. she is 7 years older than I am (who cares?) and she was the one I went to visit in Arizona over my spring break. Well, I got together with her a few days ago because she is home for a short time. We were meeting at alterra at 11 am. She didn't show up until 12:30 pm! She was an hour and a half late, and did not apologize other than oh, sorry i overslept a little. THAT pissed me off royally. Then, she brought a friend along with her who I had never met before so I didnt really feel like I could talk to her because there was a complete stranger right next to me! Then she starts saying all this crap like "oh my god ive been eating so much crap lately i HAVE to go running" "oh im so hungry, but i shouldn't eat""okay ill eat half of that, oh damn i ate the whole thing, someone hit me if i have anything but veggies for dinner!" WTF! She knows im anorexic and im in recovery and all her horrid comments really mentally set me back.
She said she didnt have time to see me again cuz she's home for such a short time so I decided to send her an e-mail telling her how i felt. She will not respond to my e-mail, my texts, facebook messages, phone calls, NOTHING. I did not want to jeopardize my relationship with her but her words were eating me alive!
I don't know what to do! help please!!!

Tell her that she has a choice, either be respectful and sensitive to your needs and maintain a relationship with you, or she can stay the heck out of your life and lose your relationship.
DO NOT allow yourself to be in such a 'toxic' environment
Stay well...=)
