Help me help my little cousin
I (18M) have two cousins, 14F and 5M. Lately 14F is very self conscious in public and doesn't do things she used to like holding 5M's hand or talking to him if her friends are around, she just ignores him even if he's crying. I know she's just a teenager doing teenage things but it's being very hard on 5M. Their parents divorced last year and dad isn't in the picture anymore. My aunt is tired and overworked as a single mom and doesn't have a lot of time for my cousins anymore. 14F has her friends at least but 5M doesn't get along with his classmates, they bully him. 5M feels like a burden to his mom and his sister and he thinks 14F doesn't love him anymore. I've never seen that kid cry so much as he does now and 14F just tells him to keep it down. I'm there for him as often as I can bcs I love that kid, but I can't be there all the time. I've tried talking to 14F about how she's doing after the divorce and she's not very receptive but I think she appreciates the support. When I ask her to be a bit nicer to 5M she just rolls her eyes and says he's cringe. This kid needs his family. What can I do to help?
