[quote=Anonymous]What is he trying to teach her by giving her the silent treatment on top of a traditional punishment? Is he trying to teach her that his love is conditional? Is he trying to teach her that emotional punishments are OK to dole out to other people? Is he trying to teach her that punishments can be unclear and have no specific parameters? The silent treatment is abuse beyond an initial short period of being angry. How would he like it if she stopped talking to him for a week for whatever reason? Does he want her to be afraid of him? Does he want to push her away? Teenagers lie. They all lie. It might be a big lie or a small lie, but they all do this at some point. How the parents handle it is important. Your husband is signaling to her that she is not worth his time and not worth talking. That’s going to damage their relationship if that is the way he is going to go about things. [/quote]
