The disrespecting part is so rich. Suddenly they don't have access to you the way they did, and you're not moping around on the floor grovelling at their feet - that is not what they expected.
Also, now you're not around as much and so you can't be the source of all their troubles and they have to deal with that reality - which is definitely not nice because they can't blame you and because you're DBing, they can't take it out on you cuz you're not fighting or arguing with them. They will try all that and see that when you don't flinch, it's something about themselves.
