survivor mug 12oz

In the preface of No Visible Bruises, Rachel Louise Snyder writes:

while there is a movement afoot to refer to domestic violence victims as “survivors” or in some situations “clients,” I often refrained from doing this unless I knew unequivocally that they were survivors, that is, that they had managed to escape their abusive relationships and build new lives for themselves and their families.

At what point can a victim of financial abuse call herself a survivor? The fallout extends far after the damage has been done. She can never compound interest in money she couldn’t save, and never reap returns on investments she couldn’t risk. Her lower social security earnings, and lower 401k savings from an employer's percentage-based match, continue to tamp down her quality of living even after she retires.
