[quote=Anonymous]Is your cousin generally a good mom? Does her daughter tend to make bad choices? Chances are they will navigate what comes their way. If she's going off to college, she won't be calling mom for this kind of help anymore, she'll be calling friends or uber.

Are you close with her daughter? With my niece I know I can offer to be a point of contact for actual help or to talk about stuff she doesn't want to go to her mom about because we are close and my sister is ok with it.

If the daughter is generally doing ok by now, it's not your place to involve yourself.

We all have nights we look back at and cringe,  but I realize my friends from that time period see those nights differently. Memory and perception are funny. If you still feel hurt or anxious about a party from 30 years ago, you may want to seek some therapy to talk it over. Your cousin isn't interested in changing her perception of the event...you can't control what others do, only how you react. It's up to you to manage your own feelings now.[/quote]
