Today’s topic:Love Triangle Heres the deal Steve & Shirley, My cousin is 22 years old and she is dating a 19-year-old that she really doesn’t know anything about and they are currently living together. He has no job or car while my cousin works two jobs to support them, but that’s not even the half of it. He is sleeping with her 14-year-old cousin. They are alone when she is not even around and they are sometimes together while she is in the house asleep. Not only that, things in the family are coming up missing and family members are being blamed for the missing items, which the 14-year-old is taking to give to the 19-year-old to keep him happy. There is also reason to believe that the 19-year-old is beating the 22-year-old. They both do whatever it is he asks, no matter what the cost is. He also tells the 14-year-old that one day they will be together. He says he is in a gang and I believe the 22-year-old is scared. He also tells the 14-year-old he would rather be with her and is only staying with 22-year-old because he has nowhere else to go. If that’s not bad enough, he also has a baby’s mama. Both cousins think they are in love, but I think they are just getting played. Steve i just don’t know what to do. Most of the family doesn’t care for him, the mother has been to their house and had words with him, and the father won’t even talk about him. All of this information is killing me and I know I need to tell someone before someone really gets hurt. So how do I go about telling without my cousin knowing I told?
