I love Lapis, but yes, she became the abuser in this relationship. She was the sensitive, and emotionally vulnerable one, but with clever writing, she was taking advantage of her opportunity to make Jasper suffer, despite her original motive of simply protecting her friend(s) from the enemy. She got carried away with her control and punishing. Maybe her powers are emotionally controlled too like Steven's, it explains why she is incredibly powerful, but only during her more extreme moments of expression (betrayal when she first saw the crystal gems after being released, fear when Jasper threatened Steven, etc.)
