Hello Courtney,
organise yourself, that you don't have to look after the children.
I even think, it is a good possibility, that you open the problem of your aggressive potential to your Aunt (or someone you consider adequate), and that you apologise to your cousins.
Of course this is delicate/embarassing, and sad. But you are starting to treat this unpleasant part of your personality in a responsible way by talking about it here. I have unpleasant parts in my personality also. And out there many have.
But the chance I see in talking and opening to your aunt, is that nothing worse happens, and this aggression doesn't go on. And I think this will be a very great success for you. But if it goes on, it will be a catastrophe for you in yourself.
Additionally, if you apologise to your cousins, then they understand, that they are valuable and their interests are valuable. This will mend some damage that can have been done to some degree.
Furthermore: I think you are entitled to aggression. You suffered yourself unjustified violence. You need to learn to cope with that pressure that you were exposed to wrongfully.
Learn self-assertion, learn all forms of self-defense, start with sensing your borders, and improving your capacity for verbal conflicts, and also negociation. And physical self-defense too.
If you are exposed to some sort of violence - communicate your border, advocate your interests, defend yourself, fight! Give the pressure back to an offender, who offends you unjustified. If we don't learn this, we will go under, I guess.
These are some topics in this context.
Of course we need to learn to deal with tensions in us, and between us and the surroundings and in the sourroundings, that we are exposed to.
Good luck to you.
