Summary

In today's episode, we are discussing financial abuse. Financial abuse, using money to manipulate and maintain power over another person, is one of the most common forms of domestic abuse. Financial abusers use money as a weapon to assert control over, isolate, and restrict the economic opportunities of another person. Many of us tend to think of financial abuse as taking place in a romantic relationship, such as between a husband and wife or domestic partners. However, financial abuse can also occur in other relationships, such as between a parent and a minor child or between a caregiver and an elderly patient. In this episode, learn the common types of financial abuse, how to identify it, and what you can do to overcome financial abuse if you are a victim.
