​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.
