ElleDee, hang in there. I have a family member that gives me the silent treatment for months every time I put my foot down to her trying to control my life. (My mother) The funny thing is that during that silent treatment I have realized that I can breath easier and be free. I have done the most growing during her silent treatments! I think she saw that the last couple times and we do much better now. Gifts from God come in so many different forms. Just keep on rolling with it like you are. It will all turn out for the best.
