Navigating life after separation can be challenging, especially if you’re dealing with post-separation abuse. Unfortunately, this is a reality for many women, particularly mothers who continue to suffer abuse from their ex-husbands.

What Is Post-Separation Abuse?

Post-separation abuse refers to the continuation of emotional, financial, and psychological abuse by an ex-partner after a relationship has ended. It can manifest in various ways, often leaving the victim feeling trapped and stressed. Understanding and identifying the signs of post-separation abuse is crucial for taking steps towards healing and protection.

1. Financial Abuse

One common form of post-separation abuse is financial abuse. This can include your ex shutting down your bank account or refusing to pay for childcare and other essential expenses related to your children. Additionally, withholding important financial information necessary for the divorce process is another tactic used to exert control and cause distress.

2. Unauthorized Entry

Another form of abuse involves unauthorized entry into your personal spaces. Abusers may sneak into your car, garage, or home, violating agreed-upon boundaries. If you notice items out of place or signs of tampering with security systems, it is important to consult your attorney and possibly law enforcement to ensure your safety.

3. Manipulating Your Children’s Lives

Abusers may create chaos for your children as a way to exert control over you. This can include refusing to adhere to set schedules or neglecting to take your children to extracurricular activities. They may also send subtly intimidating emails that are difficult to pinpoint as dangerous but are intended to cause fear and anxiety.
