So, I have a txt message today from my W's cousin.
It's touching that he is concerned for your health. At this point you I'd say be a little cautious about trusting him because he has not done anything to gain your trust. It is safer to err on the side of caution.

All I can say is that I'm doing what I feel I need to do to fight for my marriage and protect my wife. Thank you for maintaining your objectivity and not getting involved.
I'd refrain from providing too much information at this point. The status of your therapy is personal and confidential.
My reply would be:
"Cousin, thanks for your concern. Surprisingly I've achieved clarity and I'm doing pretty well. Things are falling into place and I've found a new lease on life. I apologize for any discomfort you're feeling, however as you know I was not the instigator. We play the cards we are dealt. Thank you for your support and the stance you have taken."
The above message is vague and inspires curiosity. This is what you want in case it gets back to your W. You do not need to repeat that you are fighting for your marriage. You said this before. You do not need to repeat that you are fighting for your W. You have said that before too.
That's my take.
Yes, this is much better, for the reasons Gno states.
