Ok so as not to get the thread locked everyone should probably calm down.
The fact of the matter OP, is that you've let this take too big of a hold on you. See it for what it is and move on. In no world will this work in your favor.
Yes ^ .
People, this thread will remain locked for a while, so everyone can take a deep breath and calm down. Numerous personal attacks, off-topic and orphaned posts have been deleted. Please remember that everyone is entitled to express their opinions. You may attack ideas and opinions, but not the character nor the intelligence of the person who posted them. Knock it off with the personal attacks and arguing over semantics.
After a cooling-down period, the thread will be re-opened.
OP, please let us know how things work out at the family gathering.
ETA: Thread re-opened at 3:34 p.m.

I wonder if the CEO cousin texted the 'job offer' while drinking? He may have felt remorse the next morning, and while it would ideally be best if he could own up and say "Sorry, cousin, I had a few beers last night and thought we were just kidding around" he might just be avoiding his cousin and hoping he gets the hint.
(Not that different than someone who ignores text messages from an unsuccessful first date.)
He's not returning his own cousins calls, who is like a brother to him. What makes you think he is going to return my calls/emails?
He will, or refer you to HR, if he really had any intention to offer you a job. That's not difficult to understand. Are you really saying your pal, "who is like a brother to him" doesn't have his email address? Or is it just easier to whine here a hundred times than shoot him an email?
I'm not going to confront him per se. I'm going to ask to speak with him in private. If he says no, I will confront him.
Please describe what you mean by "I will confront him."
Where will you confront him?
Who else will be there?
How close will you be?
What will you say?
How loud will you say it?
What will your reaction be if you do not receive a favorable response?

No because he had a long conversation about this with my friend and his wife. They both told me they talked for like 2 hours. The text messages came after the conversation and verbal offer.

As I've said before, factually, he already offered me the job. Of course my friend has his email address. I've already explained why I haven't emailed him. Again, it's a lot easier to blow off an email, text, or phone call than it is to blow off a person standing right in front of you.

?
I've already done this.

A couple other family members and my friends wife.

Speaking voice seems appropriate.

I'll ask him why he told both my friend and I that we were hired. I'll also ask him how he plans to compensate us for hanging us out to dry this last week.
