NoDirection, I understand completely, and I think that it might be a good thing that her cousin is there for you both of you. Maybe she can help, who knows.
Sounds like to me, at this point, a confrontation would be coming, either way, whether you told others or not. So just stand firm, you did nothing wrong by reaching out. It takes a strong person to admit that they need help, it is only the weak who sweep everything under the rug. Take care.
