My husband is a master of the silent treatment with disdainful, aggravated you irritate the crap out of me look on his face.
I immediately turn into a very small and young scared part me and freeze.
Inside, I’m so angry and just frozen because I feel like anything I try to say or do would only make it worse.
I know I should comfort that part of me and stand up for her but I can’t. I don’t have the ability and I’m too afraid to.
I feel pretty beat up and crushed when it happens. I don’t want to just be a victim anymore with no voice.
A part of me, the 12yo, knows he’s just a bully and is taking great pleasure in what he’s doing, but I can’t seem to step in for the little one who is so crushed.
Just curious if anyone else deals with this.

no I did not have a problem with others outside me giving me the silent treatment. heck there was enough chatter going on inside that most of the time I did not even notice when it was silent outside my head. i could sit by myself or with others and still be having conversations and listening to conversations. sometimes I wouldnt even know someone outside my body has been talking to me because I would be hearing what was going on inside me.
