“For no apparent reason there were times I would find myself on the receiving end of being ignored – as if I didn’t exist in my own home. It was as though my husband pushed the delete button and I was no longer visible. Though I would repeatedly ask what was wrong I would never get a reply. Fear and self-doubt would grip me. Until the silent treatment was deemed over by my gambler, I would spend my time trying to fix something I apparently did though I had no idea what it was. The silent treatment game succeeded in distracting me from the gambling issues and made me focus on mythical wrongs for which I was being punished.” — GAM-ANON INTERNATIONAL SERVICE OFFICE
