H`s silence isn`t just because he has little to say;he really does use it as a wepaon because he finds it difficult to articulate his feelings. I`ve seen him doing this when his Mum badgers him-he just shuts down,no facial expression, no words, stillness.
to break that I put the radio on-not too loud, just low volume to break the power of his silence and to have someting else to concetrate on myself besides what his silence is trying to say.
Its a bummer this, living with a guy who`s been trained all his life to wear a mask and cannot express who he is because he doesn`t even know.
One of the reaons I am so conscious of engaging in dialogue with our three kids.
Trust. Hmmmm.Can`t imagine be ever going there again.
But then one of the things I`ve learnt with this lot is Never say Never!
