Hi Andyy-
It gets easier when you start filling up the silence with other people who are happy and enjoying their lives.  Look for them - they are out there!

Hi Andyy, I grew to enjoy the "silent treatment" , I called it "peace and quiet".......it's meant as punishment, but I prefer that form of punishment to the aggressive and humiliating tactics.

It's all in how we choose to perceive it, I guess. KG, love your posts. Doe, good advice.
