Money Matters: Shedding Light on Financial Abuse in Relationships
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The newest episode of The Still Waters Podcast continues a series on abuse by focusing on financial (economic) abuse—when money shifts from a shared tool to a weapon used for power and control. Research indicates financial abuse occurs in 99% of domestic violence cases and can include common tactics such as controlling access to accounts, requiring receipts or permission for necessities, shaming spending, sabotaging a partner’s ability to work, and creating debt in a victim’s name to damage their credit. The episode contrasts abuse with healthy financial imbalance and emphasizes warning signs and practical steps a person can take if they determine they are in this situation.
