Financial abuse

A form of control where someone limits access to your money, drains your assets, or makes you financially dependent on them to exert power and trap you in a relationship.

If this feels familiar, it's okay to seek help or just talk to someone you trust. You deserve safety and happiness.

Financial abuse is a manipulative tactic that isolates the woman financially, making it harder for her to leave the relationship.

Abuser: "You don't need a separate bank account
—I'll take care of everything. Just transfer your paycheck to me, and I'll make sure the bills are paid. You're terrible with money anyway, so this is for the best."
