Ha! Oh, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed my days and even weeks of the silent treatment from my xah (he never sought any type of recovery). Gave me a little room to breathe. It wasn't until I was out of the FOG that I learned on SR that the silent treatment is a form of abuse. My xah was always twisting everything around and saying I was the bad guy .... you shoulda seen the smirk on my face when that lightbulb went off when I realized how I had believed his bs for so long
