Synopsis

With Exposing Financial Abuse: When Money Is a Weapon, you will be given the opportunity to pull the curtain back and see into the lives of those who have been financially harmed by someone close to them. Being able to take a closer look at this hidden world is a unique gift that cannot be taken lightly or without honor for those who have chosen to allow us to peek into the most personal aspects of their lives.

Test yourself. How would you describe financial abuse? It is quietly happening all around us and is hidden within our neighborhoods and communities. You probably know someone who lives within a financially abusive household and you don't even know it.

What is financial abuse?

Has your spouse or parent taken out lines of credit in your name without your consent?

Does your ex-spouse suddenly stop paying child support as a means of furthering their abuse and control over your life?

Has your partner moved money from your joint account to a secret individual account without your prior knowledge or consent?

Do your parents use financial gifts as an open door to demand future compliance on your part?

Are you blamed for creating financial stress, but are not the one who overspends?

Did your ex-spouse hide his or her income from being included in the calculations for child and/or spousal support?

Have your religious leaders said that you must give to the church first, even if that means you cannot provide for your household's basic needs?

Do you carry the full burden of making enough money for your household because your partner refuses to maintain steady employment?

Excellent resource with examples to share, educate & validate financial abuse. There are examples in there that I would not have ever thought were a form of power and control, until I learned how covert abusers can be.

[ ] Psychological abuse is a huge part of my life. It is something that I have experienced the depths and layers of 1st hand.

Goodreads review by Colleen on June 08, 2018

Shannon Thomas has written about a topic that apparently happens much more than one would imagine. If you are familiar with the “Power and Control” wheel, you will note that economic abuse is one of the wedges. This is a good follow-up book for Thomas’ first book: Healing from Hidden Abuse: A Journe......more
