A Baptism or a church are hardly the place for your cousin to make good on her threats. It sounds as if she knows this about you so she is picking on the meeker. If you can pretend to her, even if you don't feel it, that you arent the least bothered by her, you may find she isn't so tough after all. Many bullies back down when stood up to. They only feel empowered when you show weakness to them. So don't show yours. Show strength whether you feel it right off or not. Once you do you will suprise yourself that you can acutally feel some!
Stay by others but don't mouse behind them so your cousin see's it. Keep your head up and act unconcerned by her or her threats. Stand strong and let her be the one to run off! Shock her and suprise yourself too!

Get a restraining order. Use the threat as evidence that it is necessary. Once you have it, call the police if she violates the order, and she'll be arrested.
Have a happy baptism!

you are your own worst enemy, stop worrying about what your cousin may or may not do, you have no control over her, so worrying about her is wasted effort. I very much doubt she or anyone would come into a church full of people and raise a scene, if she does, you simply call the police and she becomes their problem.

Avoid being alone with her. Tell others in your family your concern so they can help keep you seperated and back you up.

Just be glad she threatened to slap you and not shank you. Worry more about yourself and less about her.
