Mutatio, I want to run away too but my youngest is just 9. What are you doing around the house while she is moping? I have been spending way too much time on my laptop, I noticed that it helps my frame of mind a lot if I get off the computer about a half an hour before H comes home and I put on music and start a game with the kids. Or I will cook or even clean, but for me doing anything sedentary when H is around brings me down- just way too much quiet energy I guess.

What does your son think of all the quiet? He must realize something is going on.

Also, as much as I understand the hell that the silent treatment is, let me assure you that when my H finally started speaking up it was just awful. The things he says are horrible.
