Worried they wont love me forever... :s

Question

Im 14 years old, and have 2 cousins, the boy has just turned 4 and the girl is 5. My cousins mean the world to me, I love and care about them more than anything and want to do all I can to make sure they are properly loved, cared for and happy. I know its stupid, but Im worried that once they're more grown up they arent going to love me so much because im not so closely related to them say as a sibling or parent. How can I make sure my relationship with them stays strong throughout their growing years??

Answer 1

That's sweet. Just make sure they know you love and care about them and make sure they know that you'll always be there for them. See them as much as possible. I'm sure they'll know that you love them! :)

Answer 2

just always be there for them as they grow older....actually you have the slight more advantage to a parent or a sibling....they can't exactly tell everything to close family compared to a close friend like you, no doubt they'll have many questions and problems for you during their teenage years :D

Answer 3

keep the bond strong. when you get older and go away to college or something. call them dont break the trust and love if you move our get married.  

Answer 4

Well one thing is for sure.. All you can control is yourself in this world. You cannot control anyone elses emotions.

This will effect you in all kinds of relationships if you continue to feel like there's something specific you can do to make someone love you.

When you date someone, even MARRY someone, you can never be guaranteed that they will love you forever.

You have to have faith that as long as you are the best you can be, the rest will follow.. It wont always have a happy ending but you will be ok.

Just always let these kids know that you are always there for them. Even if they go through a stage where they aren't close to you, they can think back to all the times you have been there for them and when they need you they will know you are available.
