My mom used to give me really bad silent treatments growing up. I would write little notes and slide them under her door. I was homeschooled. So, there were times I thought I would never get away from it. She went through a lot in my early childhood, and I have forgiven her.

My husband used to give me the silent treatment. I would start panicking. It felt like I was a child again. Except, I never chased after him. I stayed silent until he spoke. He always wanted me to fix it, but I said that he was the one to walk away. We have learned this is terrible, and it causes me to have a mental breakdown. Thankfully, we don't take that approach anymore.
