[quote=Anonymous]OP, if you see this back at the top of the forums -- Please update (if you can stand to). I didn't see this the first time around. So sorry for this situation..

I especially hope that the cousin is getting some very serious therapy to help her deal with the past abuse. Abused for eight solid years and then having to continue living with her abuser until she left home -- I can't imagine how much that affected her. She was extremely brave to warn you and to do it with specifics rather than just trying to say, "You really don't want to do this but I wont' go into why...."

It's stunning when someone who seems great turns out to be an abuser. Happened to family friends, where the husband/father was abusing young female relatives in their own home when he visited. He ended up in prison for a long time, lost his wife and kids, kids had to undergo a lot of questioning and counseling to try to find out if he had abused them too. But at least someone was brave enough in the end to let the cops handle it and remove this man from everyone's lives, even though the legal process was painful.

OP, are there other young great-nieces and great-nephews in the family who might be left with this couple and the parents don't know what you do? They need protecting too. [/quote]
