Estrangement as Emotional Abuse: Estrangement can be a manipulation tactic to control or hurt others, especially when used by abusive family members or partners. It often leads to long-term emotional scars like anxiety and self-doubt.
The lack of clarity freezes the process of grieving, blocks coping, and hinders decision-making. So it is with estrangement, when the person is physically absent but psychologically often intensely present.
Some signs that a partner is being emotionally and psychologically abusive include: humiliating you in front of others; calling you insulting names, such as “stupid,” “disgusting,” or “worthless”; getting angry in a way that is frightening to you; threatening to hurt you, people you care about, or pets;
For survivors of childhood abuse, estrangement isn't merely a decision; it's a lifeline. It's a deliberate act of self-preservation, a refusal to remain shackled to toxic relationships that threaten to engulf them in a never-ending cycle of pain and trauma.
Ways to document abuse include: Keeping a journal of what you experience, including descriptions of how the incident made you feel. Writing down statements you, your partner, or any witnesses make before, during, or after the abuse. Recording dates, times, and descriptions of incidents.
As its name indicates, the silent treatment is something that's done to somebody. It's done on purpose, and its purpose is to send the message, “I don't like what you did.” In contrast, while estrangement often feels punitive when you're on the receiving end, punishment is not necessarily the intent.

A domestic violence support group offers a safe and caring environment for survivors of abusive relationships so that they don't have to face the aftermath of their trauma all alone.
