My ex-h, a psych. has used the silent treatment against me for 14 years. Can I sue him for it?
He is a psychiatrist who has refused to talk to me or answer questions of concern about our (grown) children. This emotional abuse has taken its toll on me over the last 14 years. It has chipped away at my confidence, positive attitude and overall mental health. Have you ever heard of a successful law suit of this nature?
I hate to break it to you but he is your ex-husband, and people are allowed to talk (and not to talk) to anyone they want to. There is nothing more that binds you.
If your children are grown, is there any reason you can't talk to them? Or are you alienated from them in some way?
In fact, why do you have to talk to your ex-husband about your grown children? He's history, and they are entitled to make their own decisions.
More interesting to me, your question is categorized under 'Law of Attraction.'
I'm extremely curious why that is.
