my cousin sarah who is 15 and I always end up getting in a fight almost everyday. I'm 20 so I feel like im someone she could look up to but she doesn't and i dont mind i just cant stand when she treats me so badly. Our fights always start and escalate through text messages or instant messages, both ways ive told her i dont like communicating. I feel like I cant trust her with things I say and i know i shouldnt feel like that but whenever she gets mad she always says "whatever" like its ging to end the fight and make it better?? then wants to hang out like nothing ever happened.. My life is stressful but I don't dwell on it because I know that only makes it worse but when she fights with me I just get so angry and cant help but get REALLY mad. A few times I thought about just giving up on her and never having to deal with that drama but then that makes me look like i dont care when really i do. shes pretty much the only family i have but i honestly can not take this anymore and i have no clue what to do.. also her mom blames me for when she acts wierd and disresectful, also she thinks sarah comes to my house to 'do meth' i dont do dope..so it pisses me off that becasue when sarah leaves my house and goes home talking super fast all of a sudden im a drug addict? also sarahs brother and sister dont have a smidge of respect for me. so its just me and sarah and when she constantly treats me like garbage and talks down to me all i can assume is they all do it together.. I feel like if I gave up on them THEY wouldnt care and I would be the only one feeling like i lost my family.
I just need any advise to help me.

Well were are your parents and why are you hanging out with a 15 year old anyway and your 20. I think the only way you will get respect from her is if you stop treating her like you and her are the same age. I don't think it is appropriate for you to be hanging out with a 15 year old. And this could be were the problem is because she probably fells like she is equal to you in age, and doesn't have to listen or respect anything you say.
