So, avoiding a long-winded backstory, my cousin (who has always been like a sister to me) has been gradually cutting me out of her life. She has behaved similarly to my two older sisters too, but because they were never close and there is a huge age gap, it hasn't had the same impact.
She and I were very close until quite recently but a couple of major family and work issues seemed to trigger the change. We disagreed over one of these issues and since then she has barely spoken to me, she's never in when I call her and doesn't respond to my texts. If we'd never been close it would be easier, but we are very close in age and interests and have a large circle of mutual friends from school and University. At one stage, we aired our problems and tried to get over it but then she closed up again - I'm not sure why. I hate confrontation and she can be really nasty in an argument, and having been at the wrong end of her tongue before I can't face that now. She is also very passive aggressive, and rather than being direct makes digs about me in an underhand way. A month ago she posted a really biting commentary - anonymously - on a local internet message board. It was clearly an attack on me but nobody else would have known this and I can't prove it.. If I asked her about it I know she would deny it was her. She's become so sly and mean at times. I find it very hard to handle. Has anyone else got any advice?
