Not everyone responds to stonewalling in the same way. I was never a people pleaser no matter how much my mom tried to get me to be with her actions. My reaction to when she became angry was to leave her totally alone. She always came crawling back as if nothing ever happened. Good thing, she never successfully manipulated me with her behaviors. It gave her time to think about what she did while I went on with my life never reinforcing her behaviors.
I have no idea how I ever learned that skill given the dysfunctional parents I had
