A10. (3/4) “Financial literacy” isn’t always the answer. Victims and survivors often have a VERY keen understanding of their finances. The problem is that someone else is working hard to keep them financially trapped, powerless, and controlled. #CreditChat

A10. (2/4) As with all forms of abuse, “just leaving” isn’t always possible, practical, or even safe. Victims and survivors deserve help and support every step of the way, regardless of whether or not they ultimately leave the relationship. #CreditChat
