I really don't enjoy saying these words, but: this whole thing is kinda non-consensual.
This. You can't remember the safe word because there isn't one.
I wish we could improve this.
Maybe we could, maybe with temporary and permanent exchange programs for adults, or expanded aid to enable refuge and immigration from less dangerous but still undesirable situations. Maybe an organization that can give you a list of countries that will welcome you immediately, and take care of providing transport there. Perhaps with a 3 month "drop everything and go back home" guarantee.
A lot of people feel stuck where they are, many of them are, maybe that could change.
Unless you're rich, of course.
