When one person is in control of all the money in an unhealthy relationship, it can be weaponized through power and control.

I’ve heard toxic partners say, “You’ll get nothing.”
“It’s all my money.”
“You’ll never make it without me.”

In the state of Michigan (check with an attorney) that’s not how marital funds work.

What’s best if you are going to stay in a toxic relationship? Women need to have their own money so they have some control and power. Second best? Be aware of all passwords, accounts and logins and actively participate in financial matters.

I can help you heal from weaponized financial peer and control.

If I were a narcissist and I got caught cheating, here’s what I would do first (from a typical narcissist’s playbook):

BLAME YOU.

“I’m not cheating, you are!”
“You made me do it!”
“You are crazy, you don’t know what you are talking about!”

Sound familiar?

Yeah, don’t put up with that bu****it.

I can help you gather strength and courage to create a plan.

Living with a narcissistic partner is brutal on your mental health. 🤕

You hear so many kind words from family and friends, but the only one that matters is his. So when he uses gaslighting, manipulation and emotional abuse to confuse and intimidate you, you no longer believe all the other people in your life.

This is psychological abuse.

If everyone tells you that you are a good person, and your partner says you are a bitch, believe 🌸EVERYONE🌸.

If you were a bitch, you’d be that way ☄️EVERYWHERE☄️.

I’m accepting a limited number of new clients in Michigan. Schedule a free intro call at the link in my bio.

You struggle to leave a bad relationship because you don’t want to do something different.

⏹️ You don’t want to disrupt the peace so you stay silent.

⏹️ You are in denial and fantasy, not reality.

⏹️ Your hope is that he changes, but that isn’t happening.

If you need support, I’m available for Michigan clients.
