In this episode of Mad.In.Love, Dr. Hawkins and Lee Kaufman broach a topic that might make a lot of people uncomfortable - money. You may be asking, what does money have to do with emotional abuse? A lot. Emotional abuse is a pattern of defensive behavior used to gain
and maintain power and control over a person, and in an abusive relationship, money is often one of the ways one partner exerts power and control over their mate.
It's true that almost all couples fight about money. It is after all, among the top four reasons couples get divorced. So, how do you know when your marital problems are "just" money problems, and when it's more than something "all married people go through"? Listen in as Dr. Hawkins and Lee discuss what financial abuse is, what drives a person to those kinds of behaviors,
and some words of advice for victims of financial abuse.
