The silent treatment. The cold shoulder. Stonewalling.

I first met “Diane” in a parking lot. That’s where she handed me a stack of cash outside her car. To a passerby it probably looked like a drug deal. But the kind of “escape” Diane desperately wanted was different. She needed my help to plan a long awaited getaway from her husband. “He controls…

Most people these days rely on text messages as their main form of communication; for some, the thought of making a phone call is even scary.
