Summary
One of the biggest hurdles to getting out of an abusive relationship is money. Today I’m answering two listener questions related to this issue.
- “Do I need to submit to having my credit and debit cards taken away and no access to money?”
- “How do I launch myself financially after having no experience with money?”
These are very common questions emotional abuse survivors have, and I want to answer them in today’s episode.

| 0:36.7 | over 700 ratings and reviews as of the time of this recording and I really think we could hit a thousand by the end of |
| 0:44.9 | 2023 it's kind of a silly goal I guess maybe but I think it'd be so much fun |
| 0:50.0 | and so I'm gonna kind of push it over the next few episodes as we close out |
| 0:55.5 | 2023 and see if we can hit 1,000. I think it'd be pretty easy because there are |

| 1:39.0 | And the second question has to do with establishing yourself financially if you want to eventually leave your abusive relationship. |
| 1:46.0 | And since these two questions are kind of related, our focus for this episode is going to be on kind of on the money part of getting out. Okay, here's the first |
| 1:55.0 | question. My husband has taken my credit card away, my debit card, and has |
