[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Silent treatment is abuse. Imagine a child coming home to a house where her MOTHER is not talking to her and hence feeling unsafe in her own house that is supposed to be her safest place on earth.
The silent treatment is a particularly insidious form of abuse because it might force the victim to reconcile with the perpetrator in an effort to end the behavior, even if the victim doesn’t know why they’re apologizing. “It’s especially controlling because it deprives both sides from weighing in,” Williams said. “One person does it to the other person, and that person can’t do anything about it.”[/quote]

This. 
The OP is passive aggressive, emotionally abusive and manipulative.
She can dress it up with whatever excuses that help her sleep at night and allow her to look at herself in the mirror, but the fact of the matter is that she's been treating her daughter like this for MONTHS... she makes lunch for all of the rest of her kids but not her daughter?  She does all of the other kids laundry but not her daughters?  That's really despicable behavior.

Rather than using her words like an actual adult (since the op seems to favor the word "adult") she'd rather passive-aggressively give her poor daughter the cold shoulder, while simultaneously doting on her other kids.   
That isn't acting like an adult at all, it's acting like a mean high school girl. 
No wonder her daughter doesn't like her, would you??

Does the OP think that treating her daughter like THIS will make her want to live with her, like ever??  Fat chance.

The OP should absolutely be ashamed of herself.
