A Muslim sister's struggle with forced marriage and family pressure

As-salamu alaykum. I'm a 22-year-old Muslim woman, and I've been put in a really tough situation. My family arranged a nikkah with my cousin from Pakistan four years ago, even though I said no. I've hardly spoken to him since-he's not learned English, doesn't have a job, and is about to be 25. He's studying computer science, but that field is super competitive, so I'm worried about our future. My parents think he's perfect because he's patient and respectful, but honestly, that should be the bare minimum. My mom has had a hard life with my dad being abusive, so she sees this as a safe option for me. But I don't want it-I'm not ready for marriage and I'd rather be on my own than tied to someone I don't know. Now, they're planning to take me to Pakistan to make things official, and I feel trapped. I have a friend I can move in with, a job, and I want to leave, but Islam teaches us to maintain family ties, and my family is... complicated. My mom would be devastated, and I love her so much-she raised me and I don't want to hurt her, but I also can't go through with this marriage. Alhamdulillah, my uncle is supportive and advising me to move out for my own sake. It's a huge decision, though. Living without my parents seems really hard, and I've always tried to be a good daughter, so I'm confused and lost right now. Please make dua that Allah guides me to the right choice, helps me keep a good relationship with my parents, and blesses me with a righteous spouse when the time is right. Ameen. Your prayers mean everything to me.
