[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can guarantee, if he gives you silent treatment, your kids will have noticed.

My dad used to do this when he got upset.  I didn't realize it was abuse at the time, but I always noticed when it was happening and felt the tension.

He'd do it for a few days and then one day just magically start talking.

The most vivid thing I remember about 9/11 is that my dad was giving the silent treatment at the time.  My mom was in Boston for work and grounded there.  She had a cellphone and my dad did as well, but my siblings and I didn't.  His phone rang a few times and it was her number, but he wouldn't answer or let us answer.  She finally got through on the landline hours later to speak with me and my siblings.  He wouldn't speak with her.  [/quote]

At some point did you and your subs get therapy?

Did you date and marry similar men to your father (silent, no emotion, emotionally abusive, doesn’t talk much, etc.) ?

Or did you go with the opposite? [/quote]

In my experience, I see more women than men giving violent treatments and that's an emotional abuse. Women are also the one that holds sex in lieu of something else which is messed up and an abuse. [/quote]

And who are you? [/quote]
