33. Financial Abuse: Taking Control of Your Finances

Rakel Colina

Financial abuse involves controlling a victim's ability to acquire, use, and maintain their financial freedom. Abusers think their money is theirs, but so is yours. Not only do they want to control your lives, your emotions, and your thoughts, but they also want to control your money. 

Why is this something that is not recognized or even talked about? This is a form of silent abuse. Financial abuse is about control, and you have to figure out how to break that control, because if there is financial abuse, more than likely, there are other types of abuse in the home as well. If they see that you have more than them, they want to deplete you, so they can control you. You might be in a difficult or tough situation but remember facing small fears can lead to big changes.
