A member asked:
Does the silent treatment amount to emotional abuse and then may go on to physical abuse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and No: Certainly, the silent treatment can be a passive-aggressive form of abuse, but I am not aware of studies which show this is a predictor of physical abuse.
