Why Financial Independence Doesn’t Always Protect Women From Abuse

For decades, women have been given the same advice: never rely financially on a man. Get an education, earn your own money, and maintain financial independence so you’re never trapped in a bad relationship. On the surface, that advice makes sense. But real life shows us something more complicated. Many women who earn their own income, out-earn their partners, or even become the primary breadwinner in their household still experience abuse. Why does that happen? In this video, family lawyer and mediator Tanya explores the dynamics of female breadwinner relationships and why abuse, including financial abuse, can still occur even when women are financially independent. We’ll talk about the role of power, control, and entitlement in relationships, what the research says, and what warning signs to look out for.
