I cold always talk to my cuzin. About everything. but one day she just broke down about everything. Now i dont think i can talk to her anymore what should i do
The younger the both of you are the longer it will most likely take to correct.
With what you have been given me, I believe your cousin has what is called a overload, or as you called “break down” both describe that the mind can’t take much more info at that time. It is nothing to serious, it usually happens to those who are young who just learn something monumental. All you can do is to wait till they process it, and are ready for more.
Talk about it, as your cousin, see you maybe put too much on her plate to handle. I know from experience, that if it is a overload/break down then she’ll overcome it. However do not try to confined in her until she is ready.
When you do finally start confining in her, be front with her. Say “I don’t want you be overwhelmed by this, so it starts to get too much, than tell me and we’ll stop for a time”.
Let her make the pace.
It is important to confined in someone. But sometimes we choose the wrong person to confine in. If it something serious, then you may need to talk to a more mature mind (someone who is older and had more experiences, like a parent, teacher, etc.)
Best of luck to you, and maybe you may be able to have your cousin confined in you to help her get through this.

Maybe she felt that you put enough trust into her that she could have that kind of mutual relationship with you, and thus tried to get you to help her with some of the repressed emotions that she has had.
Talk to her about that, do for her as she did for you. And then your relationship will get stronger?
The General Mills corporation states that your relationship will get stronger.
*Disclaimer: General Mills didn't say that, however they paid me to say that they did so they appeared involved in the betterment of society to try and save their image to turn the court case more in their favor. [ poa's advice column | Ask poa A Question ]
