Leaving an abusive relationship isn’t just difficult — it can be dangerous. These steps can help protect yourself during this vulnerable time.
Leaving an abusive relationship isn’t just difficult — it can be dangerous. One major complication is how frequently abusers control access to money, leaving their victims less likely to be able to afford legal assistance, new housing, therapy and other resources. This makes victims of abuse more likely to stay, no matter how emotionally ready they are to get out.
This can start with your partner’s seemingly benevolent offer to manage the household finances because they’re good with money, but it can quickly escalate. They may deny you access to shared bank accounts, even if your paycheck is deposited into those accounts. Your partner will give you a measly spending allowance and may even demand you tell them where that money goes.
