Calling CPS is a very hard thing to do. We have an agency policy that we tell clients before we do it that we are going to and why, unless they are a flight risk. I find it helps keep the trust somewhat, because they aren't then surprised by the phone call.
And when we don't tell clients, the report is anonymous. Obviously it wasn't in your case. But try not to feel so bad, let yourself know that you did what you had to and you did it to protect your client. She may stay mad for awhile, but that's OK. Mad is better than hurt.
I know it wasn't easy. I'm glad you have someone to talk to about it.
