Domestic Violence Awareness: Financial Abuse

Financial abuse…
comes in various different forms…
but abusers withholding funds…
is what many consider the norm.
But really financial abuse…
covers several different ways…
from using all a victim’s money…

Inspirational Message for Today: Whatever Your Problem…

There are days that we may need to be reminded to hand our problems over to God…

and this has been one of those days.  We have to trust Him with everything!

Financial Abuse… Takes on Many Forms

This is for the many who have been victimized by financial abuse. So many are trapped in their homes as victims who have no money because their abusers control all of it. Then many of us have worked to provide for our families while our abusers stay at home and fail provide for their families… only to be victimized again when we finally leave.  There are more aspects to financial abuse than most realize.

Financial abuse…
takes on many forms.
Though not always recognized…
it’s part of abusive norms.
For many are victimized …
held captive by this abuse…
as abusers control funds…
for their own personal use.

Domestic Violence Day 12: Financial or Economic Abuse

For October’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I am continuing a series on the various abuses. Now, I will proceed with the next abuse:  “Financial Abuse” or “Economic Abuse.”

Financial abuse or economic abuse is another form of domestic abuse. Withholding money, stealing money, excessive use of money, and restricting the use of money are some examples of financial abuse.
