My abusive ex-wife has been trying to contact me recently so I am very much feeling this meme in my soul.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Me too! Divorcing my abusive husband. So happy to never hear his voice!
She's actively talking to someone to tell them how good is to not talk to them...
She's taking a break.
Never != break
After the decades of abuse from my mother, whom I only learned to start breaking away from at 30, and still, just yesterday had a pacing conversation to myself! with her haunting voice, of what I might have to do if faced with ever speaking with her again...
This example is the only kind of response. Even if just to myself.
I didn't know I needed to see something so simple as a comic to help when she dominates my head, and I think I'm gonna cry a bit now. Fuck you, mom. I'm finally learning to enjoy being alive, without you in my life.
I can almost taste the deafening sound of silence from the receiving end.
It's healthy to cut toxic people out of your life... but another interpretation of this is that she's giving someone "the silent treatment", like a 6-year old.
