					<description><![CDATA[Good afternoon Melanie,

There obviously are not a lot of moves in their playbook but if I did not know that I would have thought you lived with me to know all of this.  It is exactly how you explained it a Lil bend and curve here and there, but it is exact.  I have come a long way yet I still need help overcoming it.  Thank you so much for giving us all this information for free...many of us have been left without.  I will continue studying so I can share and understand others but most of all to set up healthy boundaries if I were ever to embark on a new relationship.  Thank you ! Thank you! Thank you!]]></description>

OMG this is so spot on I cant even... the moody attitude out of the blue, when literally nothing was wrong 5 minutes before! This happened every night. I got tired of asking &quot;what&#039;s wrong?&quot; and knowing that something was about to blow up. FOR NO REASON. Walking on eggshells all the time. Like where did that amazing fun person go? Oh right, it was a mask.]]></description>

Hi Molly,

it is true that us going quiet is the only way to preserve our health and sanity.

This is an act of self-love, saying &quot;no more&quot; to abuse.

Sending you love, courage and breakthrough.

Mel 🙏💞🦋]]></description>

Hi Michelle,

what you have described is so painful.

The real truth is we are powerless to change other people&#039;s decisions - we can only free ourselves to live our own authentic truth, emotionally, regardless of what other people are or aren&#039;t doing.

Otherwise, you will suffer.

Sending big hugs, love and healing to you and your family

Mel 🙏💞🦋]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://blog.melanietoniaevans.com/why-all-narcissists-use-the-silent-treatment/#comment-1271048&quot;&gt;Donna&lt;/a&gt;.

Hi Donna,

Please know that what you are describing is an act of withdrawal to take care of yourself.

This differs greatly to purposefully punishing another.

Ultimately going No Contact with a narcissist is about loving ourselves enough to say &quot;no more&quot; to the abuse.

I hope that this helps clarify.
