OP isn't looking to figure out why he's being triggered because he's not. He's also not looking for a better situation. He's looking to figure out how to turn around and thrive in dysfunctional situations because he believes it will be a useful skill in the future and he feels he doesn't have this skill yet.
Dysfunctional is a judgement. Labeling something as bad, wrong, dysfunctional, etc. is a good indicator of getting triggered. The problem rarely resides entirely externally. IMO, it's better for OP to explore their reaction to these conditions first since it probably won't be the last time they encounter them.
If you're actually in a dysfunctional environment, it's not being triggered to call a spade a spade. People are allowed to do that while keeping their cool and it's not impossible.
