Sarah (not her real name) used to be a high functioning, well paid professional. But, what she didn't realise is that she was slowing becoming subject to extreme financial and psychological abuse by her partner. After taking a break from her career to have children, her partner began withholding access to money. Over the course of several years, things went from bad to worse. Eventually, after briefly becoming homeless, Sarah fled to a women's refuge with her children. Three years later she's not in housing on a benefit and rebuilding her life. Simonne talks to Sarah to unravel the complexities of financial abuse, and in doing so finds similarities to her own abused past.
