SILENT TREATMENT
Studies have shown that silent treatment triggers the same response in the areas of the brain as during a physical injury. Professor Kipling D. Williams of the Purdue University of psychological sciences shows how ostracizing hurts individuals more than a physical injury.
He clearly mentions that psychological abuse such as ostracizing is an invisible form of bullying that doesn’t leave external scars but creates a deep psychological hurt within, the effects of which are grossly underestimated.
DOCUMENT EVERYTHING
Document everything: Keep it simple. Document inappropriate emails, texts, and arguments and record times and dates if they changed or canceled plans. If things are volatile check with your state recording laws and record them, remember that the narcissist could also be recording you, so be very aware of what you say. Everything can and will be used against you to take away your kids. Most times it’s best to stick with only written communication as to have a record of every conversation.
