my cousin, who has become my best friend for 12 years, (lets call her L) has been, i feel, replacing me. we have/had a really strong bond that i felt couldn't be broken. L and I go to different schools but we had a healthy relationship, we couldn't go a month without seeing each other, like most best friends. when L was little she, and this girl that goes to my school (we ll call her B) had a mutual friend, so they had met a couple of times previously, but never really became friends, well i got to know B and we became friends, so i had her and L over.. bad idea. the night basically consisted of them ignoring me. i just shrugged it off and everything went back to normal. then recently, L had B over without me, and thats where things got messy. they hit it off and started hanging out all of the time. L barley has any time for me anymore.. they hang out for weeks at a time, never stopping to hang out with anyone else. ive talked to B's friends about it and the feel the same as i do.. ive also talked to L's friends and they feel the same. I maybe get a night every once and a while but not anymore than that. i've tried to talk to her about it but she just denys it and gets all defensive. and now shes started doing the things we were going to do together with B.. and it hurts a lot. ive talked to my parents about it and they just get all worked up and mad about it. i really dont want us to stop being friends but i don't know what to do.. please help
