I had no idea what a true silent treatment was until being with "D"....
He would literally shut everything down ,, go totally blank, look right
through me,, ignore me..
Communication shut down to me verbalizing suggestions, requests and inclusion small talk (as in "I made food, do you want some?") and him rudely, intentionally intensely ignoring me,, and I'm not talking about just a couple hours,, I'm saying this would go on for weeks until I'd be packing my bags,, screw you, I have a right to honesty.. .. .. .. ..
and then he'd start the "pity me" crap,, "I'm stupid and my dad tried to drown me" crap.. and he'd act like he was spilling his guts with the shame of it all crap,, and I believed his crap... I believed what he showed me, that he felt pain,, and then I'd remember, Hey wait, this was about me needing to leave because I just spent 3 weeks in hell with a cold hearted leach... how'd this turn into therapy for you??????
One time I needed to talk about a home bill and I handed him
the bill and instead of looking at it, he just dropped his hand to his
side and let the bill fall to the floor and he just went blank..
I
always knew it wasn't me,,, but I thought he was having a brain
seizure or something... NOPE, it was just the silent treatment...
