But I guess there's really no way to fully prepare for it. Just kinda depressed about it. They were my girlfriend's cousin and her husband. How do you normally handle it when people give you flak and call you slurs and threaten you?

It's probably best to avoid the confrontation and leave if it's possible. Can you avoid these people in the future? What would you gain by standing up to them? I'm sure it's not going to change their view and it might just anger them into harming you. I think you want to play it safe.
