What if your partner wasn’t just breaking your heart—but your bank account too?

In this powerful episode of Through the Eyes of Survivors, BTSADV’s CEO Tara Woodlee sits down with our Vice Chair Midori Davidson to shine a light on one of the least talked about—but most damaging—forms of abuse: financial control.

From being denied access to bank accounts to having every purchase questioned, financial abuse traps countless survivors in silence. Midori and Tara open up about real-life stories, red flags to watch for, and how survivors can begin reclaiming their independence.

💸 This is the abuse that doesn’t leave bruises—but it leaves deep scars.
