[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s manipulation, gaslighting and abuse. [/quote] Not really. Defining silent treatment this way is context specific. The mom is stressed out dealing with the disabled dad. You told her something she doesn't want to hear. Rather than scream at you like my mom would, she is simply taking a break. Just accept this is her way of saying she is overwhelmed, she is not finding you helpful right now (even if you have the best of intentions and are absolutely right) and she doesn't want to lose it.
