What is Financial Abuse?
Financial abuse is a form of domestic violence that is rarely discussed, yet is commonly present in abusive relationships. Financial abuse occurs when an abuser makes the victim become financially dependent on them. Financial abuse is a form of abuse because the abuser is using a form of power and control over their victim. This form of abuse creates barriers for victims and makes it difficult for them to leave an abusive relationship.
