In this emotional and powerful episode of Humanitarian Horizons, Christina DiArcangelo reveals the heartbreaking true story behind her book Rescuing Mom—a story that exposes the hidden reality of elder financial abuse, coercive control, and isolation of seniors.
Christina shares the terrifying moment her life changed forever when her mother became the victim of elder abuse and financial exploitation. What followed was a shocking sequence of events involving manipulation, isolation, and control, including the destruction of communication that left her mother silenced and vulnerable.
Through raw honesty and deep compassion, Christina walks listeners through the painful details of what her mother endured—from financial exploitation and emotional confinement to the devastating impact on their entire family. She explains how elder abuse often hides behind closed doors and why it can be so difficult for families to recognize the warning signs until it is too late.
This episode is not about revenge—it is about awareness, prevention, and advocacy. Christina wrote Rescuing Mom to help families recognize the red flags of elder financial abuse, protect their loved ones, and give a voice to those who have been silenced.
If you have aging parents, grandparents, or work with seniors, this conversation could help you recognize warning signs and prevent similar tragedies.
This is a story of love, courage, and determination to protect vulnerable seniors—and a reminder that awareness is the first step toward stopping elder abuse.
