Hi @manclar, it's rare for anyone to talk about financial abuse. In cases where one partner abuses the other, it's a fundamental part of the relationship. The abuser isolates the victim from friends and family and also cuts off all financial income so that the victim is totally dependent on the abuser.
Socially, there are also situations of abuse to create dependency. In the end, the victim depends on the crumbs from the abuser. And what's worse, abuse and mistreatment break people. It does so much damage that it changes the victim's mindset, making them servile (not always) for survival.
I have little else to add other than that you've written a good post.
A big hug.
