Question

I have done something wrong.My cousin is married to a man who married another woman but did not tell his second wife about his first marriage nor about 2 children. He did not look after his first wife (my cousin).He didn't visit them. So I told his second wife about his first marriage and children.Now she has left her husband and he married a third one.He doesnt bother. Now I am blaming everthing on myself . What should I do ? Have I done back biting ? Will Allah forgive me ?
