💨 Abstract

The author, Ross McCafferty, recounts their experience of economic and joint mortgage abuse in a relationship. After initially buying a flat alone, their partner Tom moved in and pressured them into adding his name to the mortgage. This led to years of financial control and abuse, culminating in a lengthy legal battle to remove Tom's name. McCafferty highlights the lack of support from the bank and the severe emotional and financial strain they endured.
