Even if the cousins environment is not great, maybe not stable, but is it abusive? Will going there help you to get out on your own?

I'm afraid it could be. They like me right now, but I'm not sure if they are stable enough to be sure they would continue to like me. I think they have a bit of a nursing effect, they want to help me because it distracts them from their problems, but if I don't have my abuse problem anymore, I'm scared they may tire of me. I'm not sure what their love means.
Thank you though, I appreciate your help and support.
I'm also afraid of becoming docile, getting lazy while I'm there due to their supporting and lax nature. I'm used to being harassed to do things, if I don't have that anymore, I'm not very self motivated. Do you have suggestions to combat this?
