Kouri Richins & Financial Abuse: The Chains You Can’t See | Surviving the Fog Part 3
The Kouri Richins case is, at its core, a financial case.
Prosecutors allege $4.5 million in debt. 200+ overdrafts. A mansion closing Eric allegedly didn’t know they couldn’t afford. If true, it’s financial coercive control at its most extreme.
This is Part 3 of “Surviving the Fog”—examining financial abuse as the ultimate form of control. We’re not diagnosing anyone. We’re exploring documented patterns.
Financial abuse doesn’t leave bruises. It creates invisible chains. Debt without disclosure. Controlled accounts. Sabotaged employment. Chaos that keeps you in survival mode.
The word “we” is a weapon. “We” bears consequences while one person makes decisions.
When you ask questions, you’re controlling. You don’t trust them. The conversation flips and you apologize for wanting to see your own finances.
The shame keeps you silent. The debt follows you out. Destroyed credit means no apartment. Joint debt means responsibility whether you stay or leave.
And here’s what the research shows: financial desperation is a lethality indicator. When the house of cards collapses, the danger escalates.
Financial abuse is abuse—even if no one ever hits you.
