[quote=Anonymous]PP here...I also had a grandmother who used the silent treatment as manipulation or a power play. She would stop speaking to my parents or my uncle for the stupidest things...she once didn't speak to my uncle for five years because he said he didn't think the couch she bought was the best color. We would laugh and be like, "Oh that's how Grandma is" and honestly I think that's why I didn't push back when my friend did it to me. It took me a long time to understand that that was NOT a healthy way to cope with the dynamics of a relationship for my grandmother or my friend. So your kids may, at some point, give someone else the silent treatment and think it's okay, or get the silent treatment and think it's okay, and suffer in silence. [/quote]
