cw trauma/abuse
the most jarring thing about abusive situations is it's sort of the "frog in hot water" thing where you don't really feel the full force of being in a traumatic or abusive dynamic until suddenly it hits you years later when a completely innocuous thing sends you into a panic attack
it's so fucking hard to explain this phenomenon to anyone who hasn't been through it
