The Christmas Silent Treatment sends a definate message to an intended target. Abusers confronted about being abusive will often give the Silent Treatment over important social milemarke4s like Christmas. Consider their absense from your life and physical presence the greatest gift anyone prone to withholding affection or communication to shame, shun, ostracize, punish, and or to communicate hateful intent rather than proffering situational closure or social support the very best gift they could have possibly given. Take blessings in moments of physical distance while basking in the very real fact their physical absence or removal creates personal emotional safety. By limiting or ending interactions with anyone prone to abusing the hospitality of another, both parties improve perception of life conditions. Therefore, if someone gives you the Christmas Silent Treatment, Jingle On. If they abused you, withheld apology, and split… celebrate the present gift. If they try to estrange you from others or mock while mobbing never esteem their opinion again. People who pull that BS are emotionally physically incapable of being a safe person to know or anyone’s actual friend. The Silent Treatment at Christmas is an abuse tactic. They know it. Their Abuse Enablers and Flying Monkeys know it. Realize the textbook espionage tactic used to destabilize targeted marks and family units. Cut ties with those who enjoy manufacturing chaos and social estrangements.
