Feel like you're walking on eggshells all the time, constantly explaining your spending, or having to ask permission for your own money? You might be experiencing coercive control and financial control — one of the most insidious forms of abuse.
“It’s not about money. It’s about power.”

In this eye-opening episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, we’re diving deep into the devastating trio of narcissistic abuse, coercive control, and financial abuse — the silent weapons narcissists use to dominate, isolate, and wear down their victims.
I break down how narcissists use money as a weapon — not just to punish, but to own you. From limiting access to joint funds, racking up debt in your name, sabotaging your job, or demanding to see every receipt, these tactics aren’t random — they’re calculated.
You’ll learn:
✅ What financial abuse looks like in narcissistic relationships
✅ How coercive control traps victims in silence and shame
✅ Why narcissists use money to dominate and destabilise
✔️ The subtle red flags most people overlook
⭐ How survivors can begin to reclaim their autonomy and financial safety
“Financial abuse keeps you stuck long after the relationship ends.”
Whether it’s a partner, parent, or even an adult child — narcissists use coercive control to chip away at your independence. I draw from real-life client stories and professional insight to help you recognise the patterns, understand the tactics, and start the journey to empowerment.
“If they control the money, they control your choices.”
