My cousin is like my mom.?

Question

my cousin is 33 and im 17 to make a long story short me and my mom don't talk really anymore so my cousin is kinda filling that void. when i was younger my cousin wasnt in my life really she was on drugs and was never around she has 3 years clean and sober now. i work with her a few nights of the week. well for some reason i get the feeling my cousin dosent love me. like we have deep heart to heart talks alot but if i tell her i love her she never says it back. she treats me like im one of her own kids. shes my best friend. we have a very close relationship. my cousin has been hurt in the past i know that but is it possible she afraid of getting hurt again? like she never really tells people she loves them and she never really lets people in.

she talks to me about some of her issues but she dosent open up that much.

anybody have anything to say about this? =]

Answer 1

maybe youre guessing right, she not good to show /expressing her feeling to others, or probably shy.

it takes times if she have personality like this. maybe youre more open up to her (like boys, relationships) and asking advice (since she older and more experience) that will help i guess. keep things exciting!

Answer 2

Maybe she doesn't want you to feel like she's trying to replace your mom?

Sorry, if i didn't help, that's just my guess.
