(((( @raging vortex )))) - I'm so sorry you are still going through abuse. But you are a survivor because you are still alive, despite all the ongoing abuse. All the children in foster care and in dysfunctional homes are survivors because they are still alive and surviving the abuse. That's what it means to me, a survivor, still struggling with certain ongoing traumas as well as from past traumas. I may not be directly abused, but I definitely experience traumatic things every now and then.

I hope you are able to get out of your abusive situation soon.

To me, you're a survivor already.

Everyone can define themselves however they wish though. You can always replace the word "survivor" with something else.
