Is this a form of financial abuse?
by from on (#429DX)

Q: I lived in a marriage where my ex withheld much needed money for me and my kids to get by. Now I see how the present Ford government is withholding money from women's shelters in Hamilton and, I guess, in other areas of the province. I was told I was being abused financially by my ex and it made sense to me. Is this the same thing?
