It doesn't help that my mom gave me several silent treatments growing up and never telling me why. They'd come on for no reason, stick around 2 or 3 days and then boom...everything was fine again. My dad had died and my sister had moved away so it was just us living in a very quiet house. During these periods I couldn't concentrate on anything, eat, sleep...all I wanted was for her to be happy and talking to me again. I felt horrible and felt like she was going to hate me forever over something that I had no idea about. She is the reason I am so sensitive to people's feelings and always feel like I'm the problem or I'm the reason someone is mad.
