wait one more thing, is it normal to feel guilty for thinking that ur situation is abusive when everything is okay and then, when everything goes to hell again, think you're just going to be stuck here for eternity?
Yeah, abusers actually work very hard to make you feel this way. They want you to feel normal for a while, and like you don't need to take any action and just let things go, so that when they do abuse you, you don't see a way out. It's a psychological cycle where the victims are tricked by phases of things being 'normal' and then escalating abuse when the victim has no way out.
It's also normal to catch up after a while and see it clearly that this situation is abusive, and then to be caught up by guilt because you know your abusers would get mad and blame you if you called them abusive. You're taught to refer to the 'calm phases' when judging their actions, but you're never allowed to judge the abusive phases, and make decision based on that.
You are correct to think this is abuse, and it's a very complicated and toxic cycle to get out of. They want you to feel stuck, or rather, they make sure that by the time the abuse escalates, you have no easy way out. They specifically wait for you to be trapped sufficiently before they escalate abuse.
This can be countered by managing to clear your mind, and deciding to patiently put together a plan to eventually get out of the situation. If you're a child, and can't access or don't trust services that are supposed to get you out, this means secret savings that will one day get you shelter when you are able to escape, or reach adulthood. If you're an adult, it also means secret savings and an escape plan. In both cases it's recommended you have an idea of where you can go, a friend who could potentially take you in for a while or would hide you in a case of abuse, or a place you could rent out if the need arises. Also getting contacts for a protective shelter, or any kind of services that could help you out. It's okay to collect this information just to know your options, even if you're not actively planning an escape.
Also, a great thing to do is to write down everything that is happening to you, while it's happening (or right afterwards), so you can read it in times of doubt. If you date it, and email it to yourself, it can serve as court evidence, which you might need some day. It also can help you see the things as they truly are, as no phase of calm and 'normal' can make up for the phases of abuse, and once it's written down, it's going to be easier to see it.
Don't lose hope. Nobody can keep you in abuse forever. It's in our nature to find a way out.

Ohhh Feeling Trapped please for the ask game! I love that fic! 😍
Tumblr media
You got it. XD
Feeling Trapped is an Alpha!Slade/Omega!Jason fic featuring aliens-made-them-do-it mutual non-to-dubcon. One chapter so far!
Second chapter is the one on this list. Currently 2.8k, dealing with the aftermath of chapter one, so lots of grumpiness and deliberately not thinking about things.
Snippet of that:
Slade grunts, quietly. Doesn't actually say a goddamn thing. Jason pries his eyes open. It is dark, but tilting his head up he can see just enough to glare at what he's pretty sure is the lighter shadow of Slade's beard or maybe hair. "You bit me," he repeats, realizing he's a little hoarse, that his throat rasps against the words. Slade shifts, the big shadow of him moving a little in the darkness, one calf sliding slightly against his. "Go back to sleep, kid." "Fuck you." Jason takes a deeper breath, pushing one of his hands against the solid muscle — Jesus Christ, is he made of fucking stone? — of Slade's chest. "Get off me, you—"
(Post for the WIP Ask Game is here.)

The last few days, my overwhelming desire to leave my home state and start over has been growing. I feel so strongly about starting over, I almost feel trapped right now. I’m scared to start over alone with no friends or family, but I’m also scared to stay here and see this life I could have had constantly shoved in my face. I don’t know what to do. 🙃😕😩

fuck, i hate sundays.
it means mondays and going back to program
the same program that makes me crawl on the floor and refuses to help me when i loose my legs
the same one that makes me sob with stress and the feeling like i am subjectively nothing. lower then low, just a dog in their eyes when i have to crawl across a dirty floor just to get some water
trapped
the very same program that my parents constantly praise. saying its saving their "baby girl" and i'll finally have a "life". when ive never been worse
the same place where my symptoms keep actively getting worse and the stress of having to go there is making me worse both mentally and physcially
so i lie, i lie to make them think im ok so theyll let me out. i stopped talking about my symptoms and how shit i feel, i mask and tell them im "ok" and pretend like pain isnt eating me up from the inside
because thats all they want to see, and the sooner they look away the sooner i can leave
4 weeks in and all ive been taught is that asking for mobility aids is "enabling my FND" and that i need to mask harder and be "functional".
its my fault im like this

Can I just curl up in bed and never leave it again? Would anyone notice? Would anyone care?

One too many walls, I'm stuck in a box
Trapped inside I'm coughing and gasping for air
Darkness around me, only an abyss to behold
A lingering thought that I'll never truly miss
