What is the difference between Silent Treatment and just shutting down from Exhaustion? My Narc Ex abandoned us, refused to give us closure, left us in a suspended state for months and then took all the money out of the joint account leaving us without a penny to buy food. I threw in the towel, decided I wasn't going to let him abuse us anymore and filed for divorce and after that I lost all interest in talking to him at all. He has not shown or expressed any remorse to this day. I often ask myself if it would even matter to me at this point if he didn't exist. I don't know the answer to that. What I do know is that my brain feels so exhausted that I don't even feel like thinking about him or anything related to him at this point. Just want Peace in Life without him. If that is the same as Silent Treatment then I have to say it feels pretty good compared to constantly feeling stressed out and being in emotional pain around him and I have absolutely no desire to break this Silence.
