November 25, 2025 – November marks National Family Violence Prevention Month, a vital time to raise awareness about the many forms of abuse that silently impact families across the nation. Among these, financial abuse remains one of the most hidden yet devastating forms of control.
A powerful new non-fiction book, Breaking the Cycle: Understanding and Escaping Financial Abuse by author Babette Wilson, sheds essential light on this often-overlooked issue. The book equips victims and survivors with practical tools and the knowledge they need to recognize financial manipulation and reclaim independence.
Through a compelling and compassionate narrative, Wilson reveals the subtle and overt tactics abusers use to control their partners — from restricting access to money and employment to manipulating credit and creating forced dependency. Her work offers actionable guidance, resources, and hope for those seeking to break free from cycles of financial oppression.
“As we observe National Family Violence Prevention Month, it is crucial to acknowledge the warning signs of financial abuse,” says Wilson. “Recognition is the first step toward freedom. Survivors deserve safe spaces, support, and clear pathways to rebuild their economic lives.”
Breaking the Cycle: Understanding and Escaping Financial Abuse is available at local libraries and can be purchased directly at babettewilsonauthor.com.
This month and beyond, communities are urged to support survivors, spread awareness, and help shine a light on this hidden epidemic — paving the way for a future free from fear, control, and financial manipulation.
