Is it wrong to admit when you are afraid?

No one is here to judge you. God wants you to feel however you naturally do. It is not a sin to think thoughts. I do not blame you for being afraid. You are not a wimp. I think your cousin and her children should move out if they feel this way. You can contribute to her children by giving them good advice and guiding them along a good path as they grow older. Kindness and love are the true measures of a man, not physical strength. Congratulations on working toward your degree. You are planning on moving out when you finish right? I think that would be your best option. Maybe you could let your cousin and her daughters stay with you and your wife for a while.
